About the Foundation

NOLA Gold Rugby recognizes that we are part of a larger community and to have success in business we must:

-Craft a Corporate Social Responsibility Model as part of our daily operations. The formation of the NOLA Gold Rugby Foundation gives us the avenue to fulfill our commitment to our community.
-Use the sport of rugby to create opportunities to improve young lives in our community, as well as collaborate with support organizations to be inclusive in all our endeavors.

Youth Rugby Programs

The NOLA Gold Rugby Foundation will use the sport of rugby to help under-served children ranging from ages 4 through 19. Through the sport, kids will learn about comradery, leadership, and hard work.

The Foundation has partnered with the state-based organization, Louisiana Rugby, as well as the Jefferson Parish Parks & Recreation Department.  We are in the process of creating & developing 50 youth rugby programs throughout the state, with responsibilities to:

-Provide coaching and certified volunteers
-Provide all the necessary equipment
-Double the number of high school teams
-Grow rugby statewide
