Help Subsidize Tour Costs for Underprivileged Players
International tours can be life-changing - but cost can be a barrier. We’re raising funds to help underprivileged players access these opportunities through needs-based tour subsidies, ensuring talent and character - not financial means - determine who can participate.
All donations support youth rugby opportunities through the Legion Community Foundation (a California 501(c)(3)).
