Equipment Collection

Leave a reply

Do you have a old pair of cleats or a new mouth guard you never got around to using sitting in the back of your closet? Just bought a new pair or knee socks that don’t fit? Don’t know what to do with them? Donate your used cleats to Mount Holyoke College Women’s Rugby Equipment Collection!

In our efforts to be inclusive of all students, regardless of their financial situation, theMount Holyoke Rugby team is starting an equipment collection! We have made it our goal as a program to not let someone’s financial limitations prevent them from playing rugby; traditionally, that has meant working out alternative payment plans with players who are having trouble paying their dues. However, the need is still great. We want to ensure that no one misses out on being a part of the rugby family simply because they do not have the necessary equipment.

Rugby should be accessible to all players regardless of financial situations, however due to financial limitations players often cannot receive the equipment needed to participate.

You can help MHC Rugby by donating:

Your new or gently used cleats
A new or gently used pair of knee-high socks (white, light blue, or navy blue)
A new mouth guard
New or gently used rugby shorts
New or gently used rugby balls

Don’t have equipment collecting dust in your closet? Still want to donate? Donations of any shape or size are greatly appreciated and financial donations can make a huge difference for players.

$5 can buy one player a rugby shirt
$10 buys a brand new mouth guard
$20 pays for one player’s dues
$40-50 can buy a pair of new cleats
$50 can buy a new box of med tape

To donate equipment, or if you have any questions, email Hannah Summerfield-Gonchar at summe22h@mtholyoke.edu.

As a club team, we often do not receive enough funds to completely cover the cost of our equipment, uniforms, or events in which we want to compete in. Any donations received go directly towards the costs of registration, new uniforms, equipment, transportation, or unexpected costs that come up during the semester. This year, we unfortunately were under budgeted by over $6000. With your help, we hope to buy the necessary equipment and gear in order for us to become a more competitive club. Donations of any size or shape are greatly appreciated. In addition to accepting monetary donations, we also accept equipment donations.
In our efforts to be inclusive of all students, regardless of their financial situation, we are also looking for equipment donations. It is our goal to not let someone’s financial situation prevent them from playing rugby.

$10 buys a brand new mouth guard
$65 pays for one player’s dues and fees
$40-50 can buy a pair of new cleats
$100 can get us transportation to an away game
$250 can fund a home game!
