Former players of the South Jersey Rugby Club founded the South Jersey Olde Guarde Rugby Football Foundation(SJOG) in the fall of 1986.  Founded initially to promote Old Boys play, the SJOG rapidly evolved into a group devoted to assisting the active club in the management of the playing facility and the development of the game of rugby to the youth of South Jersey and the student athlete, directly.  Your donations will provide education assistance and academic tutoring to worthy student-athletes to aid in their development on and off the field.

The Duffers Scramble, now in its 21^th year, has been our primary fundraiser.  The high school Boys and Girls have prospered under the leadership of our charity, coaching and support  In addition to funding the development of youth rugby, The Duffers Scramble also donates a major part of the proceeds from this event to the Cerebral Palsy Center in Gloucester/Salem County, NJ.  In 2006, proceeds of the tournament went to the CP Center and the National Transplant Assistance Fund and the South Jersey Olde Guarde Foundation.  Total donations to date are approaching $100,000.

The SJOG Rugby Football Foundation earned designation as a 501(c)3 publicly supported organization in June of 2002.  Our charter as a charitable organization has remained true to our original goals of supporting the development of youth athletics and the game of rugby in South Jersey.  We will continue to support organizations like the CP Center and the National Transplant Assistance Fund, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

We promise to make every effort to make this years event the best ever.  The 2007 Duffers Scramble will be held at Indian Springs on Friday, June 15, 2007.  We trust you will find the 2006 Duffers Scramble a worthwhile event to support with your marketing and charitable funds.   We will make available documentation for our status as a charitable organization and provide gift receipts upon request.

We look forward to your support in 2007 and beyond.
