As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, our members pay annual dues to help cover the cost of field rental, referee expenses, and to host our opponents at a social gathering after home matches. However, our dues alone cannot cover improvements to our field, training aids, replacement jerseys or other large expenses that would help the sport grow, so we are either forced to go without or ask our members to pay additional out of the pocket expenses. Additionally, we want to keep rugby accessible to everyone and cover fees and/or provide equipment for prospective players who need financial aide. By supporting our club financially, you and/or your organization can help grow the game of rugby in Oklahoma and be recognized accordingly.
We know that you can’t donate to everyone who is deserving so all we ask is that the next time you can, that you consider supporting the Crusaders of Oklahoma Rugby Club. We are a rugby club, with a women’s and men’s team, that is working hard to build a rugby community here in Central Oklahoma. Rugby is a unique sport that focuses on appreciation for each other and the community itself above all else and it is that focus on people that we want to offer to more people and you can help us make that happen! We work with local high school and middle school teams, as well as local university teams, to offer support and a community once school is over. We believe that the rugby community is a force for good and offers lifelong health, friendships, and fulfillment.
