Ryan's Fund for Yale Rugby Tour

Welcome to my fundraising page!

This page is to help me fundraise for Yale Men's Rugby tour to Hong Kong and Japan in March of 2018. This is a two-week-long tour where we will train alongside international teams, participate in events leading up to the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan, and build relationships with rugby clubs across Asia. Although we have received a number of generous donations from alumni, we are tasked with raising over $30,000 in order to fund the trip's expenses and sponsor students who may not otherwise be able to afford to go.

This year, I am freshman second row/back row on Yale's team. My time as a Yale Rugger has been short, but my high school experience has taught me that bonding over rugby with people abroad is an experience like no other: there's just something about the game of rugby that no other sport has.

My goal is to raise $500, and I will dye my hair bright blue if I exceed my goal. Should I double my goal and raise $1000, I will also style my hair like Dwight Schrute.



Imagine some horrible hybrid of these two hairstyles.

If you would be willing to donate, it would mean the world to myself, my teammates, and the many coaches who put countless hours into developing this team; additionally, you will receive updates from the tour, including videos of our day-to-day training and daily recaps of our adventures from the tour scribe. Even if you do not care about the sport of rugby, if you would like to see me struggle to be taken seriously with ridiculous hair, then please consider donating.

If you can't make a donation at this point, help me reach my goal by sharing this page on Facebook or sending an e-mail to friends you think might be interested in contributing and include a link to my page!

Thank you so much for your generosity.

Best,
Ryan
