Funding will support the Women’s Rugby Coaches & Referees Association
Charlotte, NC – The US Women’s Rugby Foundation (USWRF) has been awarded a $9,000 grant from Newman’s Own Foundation, the independent foundation created by the late actor and philanthropist, Paul Newman. The award to USWRF was made by Newman’s Own Foundation as part of its commitment to the empowerment of individuals.
The grant to USWRF will be used to support the newly launched Women’s Rugby Coaches and Referees Association.
