Rugby Family,

I hope this email finds you well.

Last weekend in Columbia, South Carolina the Tampa Krewe won both games in the Sweet 16 and now have advanced to the National Final 4 June 5th and 6th in Glendale, Colorado. This is an amazing experience and we are humbled by the honor to represent the South and Florida in the last round of the National Tournament.

With this being said it is quite an undertaking. Now we need to find a way to get 28 players and the training and coaching staffs to Colorado. We have been playing and training since August and this is the third long trip that we have made in the playoffs, the first two were to South Carolina, only 3 weeks apart.

I know the economy is tough right now but I am reaching out to you to see if you can help. We are doing are best to finance this, but we need our rugby family now more than ever! No amount is too small and you have no idea how much we will appreciate this! If you are able to help there are a couple of ways to do this:

Option 1:

Option2:
Contact me either by email: gootwin@hotmail.com or by phone at 813-841-4913 and we can make arrangements

Rugby is the greatest sport in the world, the closeness, the camaraderie that we share is absolutely unparalleled and we will do our best to bring the trophy home!!!

Thank you,
