Help First HBCU Rugby Team Compete in Nationals

On April 23, 2023, Howard Women's Rugby made history as the first HBCU rugby club to ever win a regional title. On May 6-7, 2023, Howard Women's Rugby will have the opportunity to continue to make history by being the first HU women's sport to bring home a national championship.

Below are a few highlights of what the team has accomplished over the last year and a half:

  • Top 2 in the Nation
  • East Champions
  • First HBCU in any rugby National Championship
  • Media appearances in the Washington Post, CBS, and The Root

Even though we have seen a tremendous amount of growth and success over the past two years, we are still considered a university club and do not have the financial resources to support a trip as costly as nationals.

Below are the costs we are looking to cover for a roster of 23 Players, 4 Coaches, and 1 Manager:
  • $500 per person flight
  • 2 nights at a hotel
  • 2x fifteen-person vans for 3 days

Please help Howard Women's Rugby with travel and lodging expenses in Houston, TX so they can compete in their well-deserved spot in the National Championship on May 6-7.

Any help is sincerely welcomed and appreciated by our entire team and coaching staff.
