This holiday season, Memphis Inner City Rugby (MICR) is #ChangingTheGame in more ways than ever.

In our 10th year of service, MICR has become a vital entity in the lives of hundreds of students who are unjustly exposed, vulnerable, at-risk, born into poverty, and facing trauma. From giving a middle school student their introduction to MICR, to providing her team with safe transportation, to ensuring their alumni coaches are persisting through college with academic mentoring - you can be their catalyst for a new trajectory. You can create impact that galvanizes new opportunity. You can cultivate upward mobility in America's poorest zip codes. Join us today!

SPONSORSHIP LEVELS

$150 | One Month of Academic Mentoring: A foundation of MICR's world-class alumni support programming is academic mentoring. This support is provided to MICR alumni (usually freshman & sophomores in college) by other MICR alumni who have already completed their time as a 'mentee'. One month of these services could be the support a young person needs to stay in school, choose the right major, finish college on time, save money on loans, etc...

$300 | One Middle School Student: This student will be introduced to rugby at their school by a talented mentor who is trained in trauma-informed coaching. They'll experience a season of competitive rugby while being provided with transportation, nutrition, team-enrichment activities, and uniforms/gear.

$600 | One High School Student: This student will have a year-round competitive rugby experience including travel opportunities, senior workshops, enrichment activities, award ceremonies, and more. High school students are provided with transportation, nutrition, gear, and registration fees with USA Rugby.

$1,000 | Transportation for One Team: Safe and reliable transportation solutions are paramount to the mission of MICR. Rides home from practice and to/from games help students access the opportunities provided by MICR.
