Philanthropy | Carolina Rugby

We have pride in what we do on and off the pitch, that’s why we as a team donate our time to helping others in our community.

We run 5ks to raise money and awareness for various charities on weekends when we do not have games. Past 5ks include Run 4 Nepal, Kilometers for the Kids and The Franklin 5k for Breast Cancer Research

Farmer Foodshare — Every Wednesday, we go to the Famers Market in Carrboro to work as Famer Foodshare Volunteers, where we help make fresh, local food available to those in need in our community through donations.

Food Drive — Every year, we participate in the Students Against Hunger food drive, where we go door to door asking those in our community to donate canned and non-perishable foods and collect them for the cause.

platelets — Many members of our team go together to donate platelets (which are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding) as often as we can at UNC hospitals to help those who need them.

In the past, our team has cooked dinner for the SECU Family House which provides a comfortable home for seriously ill patients at UNC Hospitals, their families, and caregivers. — In the spring, our team cooked dinner for the SECU Family House which provides a comfortable home for seriously ill patients at UNC Hospitals, their families, and caregivers. It’s a welcoming place full of great people!

wheelchair — We have volunteered at the Raleigh Sidewinders Annual Raleigh Rumble Wheelchair Rugby tournament in Raleigh, NC, where we volunteered as score and time keepers as well as helped with concessions.
