Philippines Grassroots Rugby

"Greetings from the UK Maharlikans Rugby Team!"

As a UK-based rugby team, we proudly represent the rich Filipino heritage, bringing together players who have achieved the honour of representing our international side in both 15s and 7s rugby formats. Throughout the year, we engage in 15s matches and participate in exhilarating 7s tournaments during the summer months, showcasing our commitment and love for the sport.

Our mission extends beyond the rugby field; we are dedicated to nurturing the sport's growth back in the Philippines. In a meaningful partnership with the Philippine Rugby Union, we are poised to bridge support from our games and social media platforms directly to the grassroots level of rugby in our homeland.

Our goal is ambitious yet heartfelt: to raise £2000 to rejuvenate and support the development of rugby, a sport that has faced financial challenges, especially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This funding is critical. It represents not just the cost of organizing a rugby tournament but a beacon of hope for the sport's revival in the Philippines. The Philippine Rugby Football Union's tradition of hosting monthly youth tournaments has been halted due to budget constraints. Your generous donation can reignite this tradition, offering our youth players, including orphans who have found a family in rugby and even progressed to the national team, the chance to play, grow, and excel in rugby.

By supporting our cause, you are not merely contributing to a fund; you are investing in the dreams of young athletes, the future of Philippine rugby, and the spirit of resilience and community that rugby fosters. Join us in this noble cause to ensure the legacy and vibrancy of rugby continue to flourish in the Philippines.

"Together, let's make a difference and help the sport we love thrive once again."

This message aims to capture the essence of your team's mission and the profound impact of the proposed fundraising, highlighting the critical need for support in the wake of funding challenges and the unique contribution your team and supporters can make towards the development of rugby in the Philippines.
