From the bottom of our hearts, we want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped make Ray Day 2026 a huge success! We had over 40 local ruggers lace up their boots, including players from high school programs, college programs, and both men’s and women’s club sides. You showed up and showed out when we needed you to. This was a great showcase of all the rugby in Northeast Indiana!
With the money that was raised, we were able to provide every local high school and college rugger with a free awareness t-shirt. We are thrilled to announce that after the printing of shirts, our total donation to Stop Su***de Northeast Indiana will be over $10,000! For those who are unaware, Stop Su***de lost their funding this past fall, making this donation more impactful than we expected. We are beyond grateful for all that helped contribute, whether it be in the form of a donation, or showing up to support the cause. This is a prime example of why the rugby community is so great!
We would like to extend a special thank you to all of our sponsors! Without you, this event couldn’t have grown into what it did this year. You stepped up when we explained our goal and we more than doubled it!
