Morris Rugby Fundraiser for Atlantic Health System Extended

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the Morris Rugby community, our fundraiser surpassed the initial goal of $5,000 — the current total is just shy of $7,000!

And, as promised, several members and supporters of the Morris Men’s Rugby team shaved their heads last week to show their gratitude. Click here to view a video documenting the cuts!

The men’s team are keeping the GoFundMe page open through Monday, May 4, 2020 in case anyone else would like to donate and support the healthcare heroes at Atlantic Health System.

Men’s team president, Ross Cocheo, shared more information about where the donations are going:
