MUD. SWEAT. GLITTER.
RED DRESS RUGBY 2011

Red Dresses versus White Dresses.
Full contact.
No mercy...
But plenty of charity!

The ORSU and Reed College women's rugby teams supported the good works of local community nonprofits with a Red Dress Rugby Benefit Match on Saturday, April 16, 2011.

The match was an entertaining display of spirited rugby, with both sides scoring 5 tries each but the White Dresses edging the Red Dresses 33-25 on conversion kicks. Most importantly, we raised $730 to donate to the Portland Red Dress Party's grant fund benefiting local charities YWCA of Clark County, the Cascade AIDS Project's Pivot program, and The Q Center.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Red Dress Rugby a success and a fantastic time! Cheers to the fans who turned out to support the event, and special thanks to the following people:

• Julie "Olaf" Howard (women's team president) who organized  and  carried out the entire event
• Grey Lerner, for refereeing the match, and Dave Carter and George Hanlin for touch judging
  
• DJ Matrok (Matt Ledford) for donating the use of his sound system
  
• Anna Symonds for emceeing
  
  
• All of our players and sponsors!
