Alumni Corporation Board Being Formed

Current ESU Rugby Alumni are in the first steps of setting up a Not-for-Profit Corporation. A 501(c)3 company. The Alumni Corp. is for the betterment of the Club. This will entail setting up an Alumni Board with set responibilities. Our main goal is to establish the club as a credile and viable team on the national level. When the corporation is set, all donations to the team will be tax-deductable. The elected Board Members will decide how the monies will be used to help the team such as equipment, travel, etc. As well as the corporation, we would also like to set up an Endowment so we can build a base and eventually use the intrest to help the team. If you would like to help in setting up the Alumni Corporation send an email to Larry LaMaina ( larry0310@aol.com). For donation info send an email to Kevin Castner (coach@esurugby.com).

Our About the Club page is very vague so we are looking for anyone to fill in the blanks for us. We would like to have a complete history of the club from it start to present. Any Alumni with information please email Kevin Castner (coach@esurugby.com).
