RMHC Fund Raiser

At this time of year, we have in the past got together and had some fun at our Annual Xmas Sweater Bowling event. For obvious reasons, this was not possible this year.

Unfortunately, this meant we were also unable to gather for the accompanying toy drive – where each bowler donated a toy for one of Chicago’s children’s hospitals.

While the pandemic has been hard on everyone, in lieu of this usual event, our club felt that it was still important to try to bring some Xmas cheer to those in need spending the holdidays in hospital.

To that end, we asked players and supporters to support our cause and they responded magnamiously raising over $1000 for the RMHC Chicago and Northwest Indiana.

We’d like to thank all who supported us in this venture and wish everyone a safe and Happy Holidays.

LPRFC Wine Fundraiser

As we move towards the end of this uncertain year, one in which rugby has taken a back seat to other events, we are pleased to announce an opportunity to celebrate our founding father – no, not you Gerry – Bacchus, the God of wine.

We have partnered with a promotions company to offer our first LPRFC wine collection (well, two bottles).

These can bought either by the bottle or by the case (12 bottles) and a mixed case is available.

We are offering a 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2019 Unoaked Chardonnay.

The price is $16 per bottle ($20 with shipping) or $180 per case ($195 with shipping).

A small portion of the proceeds goes to the club.

Another Christmas Bowling Success

We would like to thank all who joined us last weekend for our annual Christmas Bowling Toy drive.

It was great to see everyone enjoying a night of bowling whilst celebrating the season of giving in bringing your donations.

For the past few years, all bowlers have brought with them a gift that the club then delivers to the Ronald Mcdonald House. These gifts are our small way of helping local children celebrate Christmas while spending the holidays in hospital.
