Give blood, play rugby!

The Drexel Women’s Rugby Club supports the 9th Annual Have A Heart Colonial Athletic Association Blood Challenge on October 21, 2010.

Help the Dragons surpass last year’s total of 859 pints collected and win the CAA Challenge for the 5th year in a row! The Red Cross will be collecting blood at the University City Main Campus, Center City Hahnemann Campus, Burlington County Campus and Sacramento Campus.

In 2009, the Drexel Dragons beat arch rival University of Delaware Blue Hens and matched their 4-year winning record! YOU can make a difference in helping save someone’s life and at the same time help Drexel win the CAA Blood Challenge.

Support DWR’s Relay for Life Team!

This is our second year putting together a Relay for Life team. If you are not familiar with Relay for Life, it is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society to raise money for cancer research. The idea is to raise money as a team and then perform in a walking relay which lasts all night. Last year we came in third with about $2,500 donated, losing only to two Pike teams who host/run the event each year. We want to beat the amount we donated last year and we know we can do it with your help! You can visit our Relay for Life web page here. Thank you for your help and support!
