ππ Together, We Fight. Together, We Win. ππ
The Charlotte Cardinals Rugby Club are beyond proud to stand alongside , Rugby Riot, and our incredible sponsor GS2 for a cause that means so much to all of us.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, donations from PepsiCo, and the heart of this amazing community, we raised $1,320 for Clairβs Army and Team Golden Shorts in support of children and families battling childhood cancer.
And the impact gets even bigger β GS2 is MATCHING every dollar raised, bringing our total donation to an incredible $2,640.00! πβ¨
