Nov 9th 2015: Initial meetup. Should Portland have an inclusive rugby club in Portland?

Nov 21st 2015: First practice.

Feb 27th 2016: First game (and first win).

May 2016: Two players from the Portland Lumberjacks attend and play in Bingham Cup 2016.

 

In just four short months, the Portland Lumberjacks Rugby Football Club went from being an idea to having players out on the field rucking, scrumming, and being a part of a rugby family. Officially formed in the Fall of 2015, the Portland Lumberjacks RFC believed that Portland, Oregon needed an inclusive rugby club that is dedicated to learning, teaching and playing rugby; to forging new friendships; to celebrating others' differences; and to giving back to its supportive communities through charitable and educational activities. 

 

We are based in the Portland Metropolitan Area, in Oregon and southwest Washington, USA. We are committed to building a competitive, social, and diverse team, and embody the word ‘inclusive’ by welcoming players regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, race, religion, age, or physical ability.

 

But starting a rugby club from scratch isn't easy. Or cheap. Our players pay their dues, but it's not enough to cover the expenses that come with founding a new club. We've hit the ground running and made awesome progress in terms of player skills and representing the sport of rugby. If we want to keep this momentum going, we're going to need a little help covering the start-up costs of a rugby club.

 

Needs:

  • Local Rugby Union Registration ($400)
  • USA Rugby registration ($150)
  • Medical Kit ($65)
  • Training Balls and Match Balls ($120) 
  • Water Bottles  ($24)
  • Goal Post Covers ($420)
  • Rucking pads ($280)
  • Tackle bags ($260)
  • Kicking Tees ($24)
  • Field lining equipment ($1500)
  • Referee fees ($360)
  • Uniforms ($2600)
  • And a whole host of other items (???)

 

With your help and support, we can make the Portland Lumberjacks an awesome rugby team for all players.

In addition to feeling a warm fuzzy feeling inside, your contributions can also earn you physical goods that include:

Patches

 

Hats

 

Crowdfunding Exclusive Shirts

DESIGN TBD. We're working on finalizing it, but we think you'll like it. When the design is finalized we will announce it here.
