It takes a
village.
Field permits, referees, kit, and travel: the cost of running a rugby club in New York keeps climbing, and dues alone don't cover it. Every donation to the general fund goes to essential club costs and keeps rugby accessible to everyone who wants to play.
Village Lions RFC is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are tax deductible.
