Advancing education and opportunity through Rugby

We are pleased to hear that the USA is no longer under such stringent national Covid-19 restrictions. The Atlas Foundation have been able to offer financial support to a number of programmes throughout the USA during the pandemic, ensuring children and families got the support they needed.

We are delighted that our projects are able to start scaling back up to pre-pandemic levels of activity. We are planning a weekend of charity fundraising events surrounding the USA vs Ireland rugby match in Las Vegas in October. This will include a Long Lunch, Golf Day and Hospitality Suite at the Allegiant Stadium for the game. We are hoping to raise enough funds to support a Memphis Inner City Rugby initiative, bringing eight squads of young people together from across the USA to play in a rugby tournament, creating positive memories and embedding the values of rugby that are helping them to succeed in all areas of their lives.

The Atlas Foundation has recruited three new champions in recent months that we hope will raise the profile of the charity in the USA. We were able to give The Todd Clever Foundation a grant to provide kits for projects around America, some of which were invited to take part in the Quest for Gold Sevens Tournament in California. We are thrilled to have them onboard and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Thank you for your continued support, your donations give children around the world the chance to thrive.
