Help the Lions Sevens Team Get to Nationals
July 25, 2011 1 Comment
The Road to the National Championship
After winning their 5th consecutive Midwest title, the Lions’ Sevens team are making their fifth consecutive National Championship appearance where they won it all in 2007. Year in and year out, the Lions have proven themselves to be one of the top Sevens programs in the country. Boasting several All-Americans and Eagles, past and present, the Lions Sevens team is Nationally revered, but it hasn’t come cheap. In an attempt to seek out the highest level of competition, the Lions must appear in tournaments all over the country, and without generous contributions from sponsors and private investors, the trophy case would be a lot lighter. Here’s where you can be a part of the glory. It has always been that the Chicago Lions Sevens Team extends far beyond the players on the field, and your generous contributions will help pave the road to victory for the Lions. We need your help raising $10k for travel expenses before the National Championship Tournament, set to take place in 2 WEEKS! Yes, 2 weeks.The team has sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears all summer for one thing; a first place finish at Nationals and the chance to represent the entire Lions network on the National stage. Be a part of something bigger than just a rugby team, and when the final whistle blows, you can share the thrill of victory.
