For the past decade, PRUSA has brought youth development and sports
education programs to boys and girls of all ages and abilities in New York
City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The majority of children in our program
come from underserved communities where they face many barriers to
achieving long-term educational and social success. PRUSA provides these
deserving kids with opportunities to Go Forward and develop meaningful
life skills by being a part of a team and positive community, where compassionate and dedicated mentors nurture each child’s development.
Join us for this fun and exciting celebration. We expect over 150 attendees,
many leaders in their field and generous supporters of Play Rugby USA programs and its opportunities for at risk youth. Sponsorship opportunities and
VIP tickets can be purchased through the attached form. I hope we can
count on your support of this momentous evening. I look forward to seeing
you there.
Gratefully,
