Rugby is a physical sport with a high risk of brain injuries due to tackles, collisions, and scrums. Our number one injury in players these last few years have been concussions and for the most part there was nothing we could do to prevent them until now. We have recently partnered with Q-collar,  devices designed to reduce the risk of concussions, in contact sports like rugby. The Q-Collar is the first and only FDA-cleared solution that helps protect the brain during repetitive head impacts. Q-Collars offer an additional layer of protection as it puts a small amount of pressure on an athlete's jugular veins which causes more blood to remain in the head providing more of a cushion for the brain. The Q-Collar company has offered us a team discount but our budget is not sufficient enough to cover the cost of purchasing these devices for all players who need them (they are 160 each with this discount). As we do not have many financial resources available to purchase them we are reaching out to you guys for help. Some players are not be able to afford Q-Collars on their own, so we are asking for donations so the team ensures that all players have access to the same level of safety equipment, regardless of their financial situation.

Any donations made will go directly to purchasing Q-Collars which will contribute to the safety and well-being of our players, allowing them to enjoy the sport while minimizing the risk of serious injuries.
