Help the USRFF Provide 30,000 Rugby Balls to America’s Rugby Youth
|
Due to the huge interest in the Pepsi Refresh Project and the large number of submissions for August, the United States Rugby Football Foundation’s A Ball 4 All campaign has been rescheduled. The new projected start date will be Wednesday, September 1, 2010. |
The new start date may actually be a blessing in disguise as it will give the USRFF an extra 30 days to plan on how to receive as many votes as possible. It will also give you more time to reach out to your friends and family within and outside your rugby circle to support the A Ball 4 All initiative.
I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Having heard from hundreds of you, I knew many of you were chomping on the bit to cast your votes only to have to wait another 30 days. It’s kind of like being all keyed up for the kickoff of a match only to be told the game has been delayed 30 minutes due to an unforeseen circumstance.
Please be assured that we will do everything in our power to guarantee a September 1st launch date for the A Ball 4 All campaign. We will once again whet your whistle with a testimonies from past and present international players towards the end of August in preparation of the September campaign.
Thank you for your patience and your support of the USRFF and the A Ball 4 All Campaign.
Best regards,
Brian Vizard
Executive Director
United States Rugby Football Foundation
