Harrisburg Rugby Club Breaks Ground on Future Home

On Friday, November 30, 2018, Harrisburg Rugby Football Club, in conjunction with Londonderry Township in Dauphin County, PA, has broken ground to begin construction of Perseverance Field, the future home of the Harrisburg Rugby Football Club.

We want to send to you a brief update on our field status, as this a momentous occasion for the rugby community within the Eastern Pennsylvania Rugby Union. These types of facilities will help to secure field space for various events and opportunities that are going to help grow the game of rugby at various levels of the game – high school, collegiate, club, 7s. There will be three fields, one international size, that will be unlike any other field set up within our region. The fields should be ready for the 2020 competition cycle, but we will issue further releases to keep you updated on field availability.

The Harrisburg Rugby Football Club was founded in 1969 and is approaching its 50 year anniversary. The men and women of Harrisburg Rugby Football Club invest in the Central Pennsylvania region by providing support for community development through recreational activities; to encourage and promote the ethos of camaraderie, discipline, and respect to other underserved entities. Growth and development of the rugby community is our goal.

If you wish to contribute to the further development of the field complex, you may make a donation through this GoFundMe website!

For additional information, please contact Jeffrey Cook, Chair of the Harrisburg Rugby Football Club or Julie George, Futures Committee.

HRFC Pink Out

2018 Harrisburg Rugby PINK OUT

On October 20th, HRFC will be holding the 2018 Harrisburg Rugby PINK OUT to Give Breast Cancer the Boot! A charity day in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, benefiting PA Breast Cancer Coalition.

Location: Memorial Park, Highspire

Event Details:
HRFC has a home doubleheader; Women vs Whitehorse at 11am followed by Men vs Media at 1pm. The games will be played with special breast cancer game balls, one to be raffled off and the other will be donated to PA Breast Cancer Coalition. To look the part, HRFC will use the donated bras to decorate our spectator ropes (then donate them to PA Breast Cancer Coalition to be included in their Boatload of Bras fundraising event).

To raise money for PA Breast Cancer Coalition during this event, HRFC will be selling special PINK OUT t-shirts and selling raffle tickets, all net proceeds benefiting PA Breast Cancer Coalition.

The Raffles are planned for our social at Tattered Flag and will include a Basket of Cheer & the Breast Cancer Awareness game ball.

*We ask all attendees to PINK OUT their outfit and wear as much pink as possible!

Goals:
Our goal for this event is to raise money for PA Breast Cancer Coalition during Breast Cancer Awareness month by having a big community (rugby & public) turnout for the cause. We hope this event will continue to build positive and meaningful community ties in the local Harrisburg area. We will be showing HRFC in a positive light while doing something good for a great cause! Whitehorse Women & Media will be notified prior to the events so that all teams can participate.

Leading up to this event, we ask you to do 4 things:
1. Respond for PINK OUT shirts on app or via email to Angi . We will be taking pre-order size requests.
2. Donate a bottle / item to the Basket of Cheer. Please bring donations to practice or Venmo Angi if you won’t have time to shop or if you are under 21 & unable to.
3. Collect gently used bras/sports bras. Check closets, ask your gf/wife/mom, etc. Please bring donations to practice.
