Charlotte Cardinals Rugby Club

❤️🏉 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Sponsors 🏉❤️

At Charlotte Cardinals Rugby Club, we often celebrate what happens on match day—the tackles, the tries, the victories, and the memories. But none of those moments happen without the incredible people and organizations who believe in what we’re building.

Today, we want to say thank you.

We are truly grateful for your partnership, trust, and commitment to our mission.

💛🏉 Together, We Fight. Together, We Win. 🏉💛

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 Clair’s Army and Team Golden Shorts in support of children and families battling childhood cancer.

And the impact gets even bigger — GS2 is MATCHING every dollar raised, bringing our total donation to an incredible $2,640.00! 💛✨

This is what rugby family is all about: showing up for one another, fighting side by side, and proving that no one battles alone.

To every player, supporter, donor, volunteer, and fan — thank you for helping us turn compassion into action. Every dollar raised is a reminder to these brave kids and families that an entire community stands behind them.
Because together, anything is possible. 💛🏉

• The Golden Shorts 🩳 💛⭐️

From the Rugby Riot newsletter on May 15: If you’re watching the Charlotte Cardinals at Nationals this week, keep an eye out—one player will be wearing gold shorts.

It’s part of a new initiative with their team sponsors: $10 will be donated to Claire’s Army. for every point the Cardinals score during the tournament.

Each game, the captain—or previous match MVP-gets the honor of wearing the gold shorts as a symbol of the initiative.

Claire’s Army is a Charlotte-based nonprofit that supports families navigating pediatric
