ANNOUNCING THE THIRD MATCH RUGBY FUND INITIATIVE:
DonorsChoose.org
Social Action
This Thanksgiving season we’re teaming up with DonorsChoose.org, an awesome organization that allows you to directly fund specific requests from teachers — a class fieldtrip, for example, or a request for art supplies. When donors like you collectively provide half the amount of the request, we’ll take care of the other half. Click through for instructions.

RUGBY EVENTS:
Georgetown Shop to Give Back Event
Social Action
Calling all Washingtonians: Shop for a great cause this weekend in our Georgetown store. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm this Sunday, November 15, join us in supporting the Cherry Fund, an independent, all-volunteer foundation that raises funds for the HIV/AIDS youth service community. Print this Blog Post to receive 10% off all purchases, and 20% of proceeds from the event will be donated to the Cherry Fund.
And no event is complete without an after party. From 5:00 to 7:00 Saturday evening, hit up the Rugby Café for a special happy hour. Because the only thing better than shopping for a great cause is drinking for one. (The after after party is up to you.)

In his own words, Beavan swears off plastic, goes organic, becomes a bicycle nut, turns off his power and generally becomes a tree-hugging lunatic. The year-long experiment was filmed for a documentary and Beavan chronicled it on his blog, now a book. Our first reaction: Man, that’s inspiring. Our second reaction: Better him than us.
