The Pioneers Club is made up of the first 100 individuals, teams, and businesses donating $1,000 or more to the US Women's Rugby Foundation. Members hold a special place in the history of the USWRF and are credited with making our work possible.
To date, we have 34 Pioneers and counting!
The Foundation gratefully thanks our “Pioneers” for believing in our mission and helping us to transform the future of girls and women in rugby.
