Send Luci to American Rugby Pro Training Center

**UPDATE: Thank you to the Las Cruces Rugby Association for covering her airfare to and from Camp! We've updated our goal to $3000.00 to cover camp and meals while she is there. We're almost halfway to our goal, and her next deposit is due June 1.

**UPDATE: Luci did great at the Trial Camp and has been assigned to a team for the summer. She's been issued a contract and has until 04/26 to put down the first $1250 and save her spot. Thank you all for your support!

Luci will be headed to the American Rugby Pro Training Center this June 3 in Little Rock, AR! Talent, passion and drive she has in abundance, so we can't let cash be the gatekeeper! This is a three month training program designed to "provide a pathway to help promising young athletes compete in the [Olympic] Games." She'll also get the internship credit she needs to complete her Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology from New Mexico State. Luci has worked hard as the current President of the NMSU Lady Chile Rugby Club to expand the sport of Rugby here in southern New Mexico, and needs our help to make her dreams come true.

This program costs $2500.00 to attend for 2 1/2 months, but she'll also need airfare and money for meals. There's also a Trial Camp March 29-31 that she needs airfare to attend. Any money raised here that doesn't go towards those expenses will be donated to the NMSU Lady Chile Rugby Club.

We appreciate your support; you can check out the ARPTC website at http://www.americanrugbypro.com/ and get a glimpse of what you'll be helping to make happen.

Here's a message directly from Luci: 

Hey all! Many of you know that rugby quickly became my passion after trying it for the first time 3 years ago. I have been lucky enough to have been selected to go to the American Rugby Pro Training Center this Summer. It’s a three month program in Arkansas in which highly competitive play will prepare me for National or even Olympic play. Please help me in gaining momentum to follow my dream! I greatly appreciate anything you’re able to contribute.
