Sportingclass Ltd, based in Twickenham, have announced their status as the official fundraising event partner of USA Rugby Trust over the duration of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Sportingclass will organise and manage official fundraising events for USA Rugby’s sponsors and their fans. These events will aim to raise funds for the USA Rugby Men’s National Team.

I have known and worked with Nigel Melville for many years and am positive that we can create some exciting events for both the sponsors and the fans of USA Rugby.”

Nigel Melville, a former England scrum-half and current CEO of USA Rugby, said “The Eagles are looking forward to the Rugby World Cup and have many fans in England. It will be great to have the opportunity to connect with them at some of the wonderful events we have planned.”
