  Whats Up Duck?  
     

"Every Try Counts!" Fundraiser

This last year the Ruckin’ Ducks Girls Rugby Team worked hard to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer education.

Every time the team scored a ‘try’ during our 2008 season, friends, families and team members of the Ruckin’ Ducks helped ‘spread the word’ about breast cancer education by making a monetary contribution to the
Feel Your Boobies Foundation @ www.feelyourboobies.com. While the foundation’s name does draw attention (and a giggle), it was an ideal match for us in our efforts because 1) the focus is on education and 2) their awareness campaign is geared to young women and the information is presented in an energizing way.

During all rugby matches the Ruckin’ Ducks team sported Feel Your Boobies tattoos to raise awareness of this program to all opposing teams. On May 11th, Leigh Hurst, the founder of the Feel Your Boobies Foundation and a breast cancer survivor herself, was at the Ruck for the Cure Rugby tournament.

The 2008 Ducks (pictured left) loved getting a "hand up" on the campaign. Throughout the year, our ‘trys’ were recorded on the chart to the right. Our goal was $2000....
we raised $2800! Yeah!!!!!!! Feel those Boobies!!!!

• EPRU Chamionships

The North Penn Rugby Football Club's Girls High School Team hosted the EPRU High School Girls' Championships on May 13th, 2007 in Lansdale PA.

Congratulations to the Ruckin' Ducks for placing 2nd in the championships! After a long, tough season and two playoff victories, the Ducks lost in the finals to a deserving State College Rugby team, 7 -20.

The championships were combined with the opportunity to raise funds for the Philadelphia Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure . It was our first year for "Ruck for the Cure" and we exceeded our donation goal of $5000 for the fight against Breast Cancer.

The Ducks wish to thank everyone for a great season and a fantastic championship tournament! We could'nt have done it without your support! Thanks to our many sponsors both corporate and individual, volunteers, the EPRU, competing teams, NBC10 and Jade McCarthy. Thank you coaches, managers, trainers, family and friends for a magical 2007 season!
