Being successful isn't easy! Rugby is a tough sport - you train hard all season long, so you can play hard with your teammates and win games. You commit to your team and are there every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, again, working hard so you can help your team make big plays and win big matches.
Then, after a long, hard season, your team has won enough to qualify for the Regional Playoff's - and you and your team play hard once again. Blood and sweat stains your jersey, your body aches from days of continuous battle on the pitch. When the final whistle blows, you emerge victorious with your team - cheered on by all the fans yelling your name and the "Budd Bay" chants begin anew. Your team has reached it's goal - to be the best, together. Almost. There's another match right around the corner...
When a full side has to travel to far away and exotic locales, such as San Jose, CA or Austin, TX - the costs really start to make being so successful on the pitch challenging. But never impossible.
We need your help. Our players need your help. Every little bit will go along way in helping our players achieve their goal of being the best rugby team in the country, and representing our club and community on the National scene. Our men have earned high honors as the #1 Pacific Northwest team and have a very realistic shot at the #1 slot in the USA! Our Steelheads have returned from California victorious and are looking forward to the opportunity at a shot at the National title.
I am hopeful that our wide network of rugby players, supporters, family and friends can help our teams realize their full potential. Player costs can be as high as $500 each to travel. I know times are tough for everyone right now, but anything will help. $20, $50, $100 or even $500 - whatever you are able to donate, will help our teams and less fortunate players be a part of what they have worked so hard for all season. If every member of Budd Bay and our extended family donated just $20, that would make a world of difference.
So, I ask you, can you help? Can you donate in support of our players and help us all achieve the dream of being the best rugby club in the USA?!?

I thank you. Our players thank you. Together, we can all be part of something bigger and really make some noise in the rugby world.
Cheers,
Dan
