We are participating in the "Oval Heart Fund Raising Campaign" implemented by the Top East teams, so we are collecting money in game sites. The collected money is used, via the Japan Rugby Football Union, for supporting affected rugby families (prefectural rugby unions, teams, schools, etc.) and rugby related reconstruction support activities. Also, we are cooperating with the reconstruction of rugby club activities by contributing used rugby goods to the rugby clubs of high schools and junior high schools in the earthquake-stricken areas.
