Across the world the Atlas All Schools programme is expanding rapidly, now reaching 21,000 children in 15 countries. The Memphis Inner City Rugby programme that you help us to support is a flagship project for the Atlas Foundation.
Thanks to you and many like you, we have been able to support the growth of this programme to new schools and new young people in the very poorest parts of the US. The intrinsic values of fair play, resilence and grit built into rugby gives these boys and girls a ciritcal diversion from crime and anti-social behaviour alongside amazing opportunities for personal development.
The "Rugby Family" is a global support network, and already we see graduates from the Memphis Programme being supported in sport, in education and in employment because of their membership of our family.
In 2019 three of our Eurpoean Rugby Champions will travel to Las Vegas for the Rugby Sevens. There we will catch up with US Eagles and former internationals from the wider rugby world.
The Atlas Foundation will host a golf classic at the Las Vegas Country Club at which project workers and graduates will answer questions about the programme. We will also play a fourball tournament with rugby internationals and honored guests. Please contact Atlas directly if you would like to participate.
