Stars Rugby 7s Seeks Tour T-Shirt Sponsors!

Stars Rugby 7s program is seeking t-shirt sponsors for our trip to Calgary's Stampede 7s. We are taking one Men's Premier team and two Women's Premier teams to Canada July 3rd-6th to compete against elite North American competition and further develop our player pool in advance of our tour to Central Coast 7s in Australia. In years past this tournament has featured NACRA national teams and several of Canada's 7s players in residency for the 2016 Rio Olympics. This is a valuable touring experience for the growth of our teams and development of our players.

Our rosters feature amateur rugby players from the following programs: Atlanta Harlequins, Berkeley All Blues, Charlotte Rugby Club, Chicago Lions, Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, Fort Miami Women, Georgia Tech, Hartford Wanderers, Lindenwood University, Milwaukee Barbarians, Monterey Beach Dogs, Notre Dame College, Sacramento Amazons, San Diego Surfers, Twin Cities Amazons, Tampa Krewe, Washington Rugby Football Club (DC), and Youngbloodz.

We are seeking 10 t-shirt sponsors for $200 each. In exchange for a donation sponsors will receive the following:

- your logo on tour t-shirts worn by all players on flights/at trainings/between tournament games
