Two Ways to Support Gators Rugby
UFRAA Membership
Your membership provides sustainable support for the Men's and Women's Rugby Clubs at the University of Florida and goes straight into the things the teams need now:
Under the association's bylaws, UFRAA directs 25% of membership dues into the endowment. That gift comes from the association on behalf of all of its members, and it's one of the reasons membership matters.

Florida Rugby Endowment
A permanent source of support for the men's and women's programs. Gifts are held and invested by the Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, so your contribution keeps working every year. Any gift, at any amount, includes you in the 1969 Society.
