Please come and join the Play Rugby USA team and our race-coordinator Robert Broomhead to kick off our Mucky Rugger fundraising initiative, Wednesday Sept 2, with a fun social and networking event, to benefit Play Rugby, Inc.
Just over one month before the Mucky Rugger Run (Sat, October 3), we are getting race participants, teams, friends, family and supporters along for some fun, free drinks, drinks specials and Wii Sports competitions at Tonic Bar. Whether or not you are participation, please come and join us for some fun and drinks - everyone is welcome.
Certain alcoholic drinks will be offered for free between 7pm - 9pm with additional drinks specials available, so don't be late! Admission is free although we would encourage a $20 donation to cover bar costs, etc. You may donate now, or during the event. During the evening, we will be organizing a 50/50 raffle, Wii Sports competition and other fun prizes for everyone to enjoy.
For those interested, we will provide everything you need to sign up a team of participants for the Mucky Rugger Run itself, or simply sponsor a team to complete the race (see below).
We look forward to seeing you there -
The Play Rugby USA Team!
