Rugby ATL Foundation Golf Tournament on June 21
Rugby ATL held its second annual Golf Day Tournament at City Club Marietta on Wednesday, June 21. The record-breaking event was sold out, with the most proceeds raised to support youth in the greater Atlanta community and the highest number of participants to date. The foundation had twelve sponsors that supported the foundation along with Rugby ATL players either on-site playing or working at different stations.
“This would not have been possible without the support of our dedicated fans, sponsors, and community members,” said the CEO of Rugby ATL Foundation, Mark Carney. “The event's success allows us to continue empowering our youth through rugby, giving them an opportunity to develop, learn, and flourish.”
The event was sponsored by Barbour Orthopaedics, H-Factor Water, Georgia Natural Gas, Cobb Sports Alliance, PGA Superstore, Revolution Chiropractic, Kroger, Studio Recovery, Marietta Wine Market, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Local Three, and Terrapin Beer Company.
