The Wisconsin Women’s Rugby team held its first ever Real Ruggers Wear Pink event to raise funds for both the Susan G. Komen organization and the team.

The pink-swathed night drew a large crowd of WWRFC players, alumni, friends from fellow women’s rugby teams and WWRFC fans. Held at the Brass Ring in Madison, Real Ruggers Wear Pink featured a social for attendees and a silent auction featuring items donated by players, supporters and local businesses.

Now in its fourth year, the annual Wisconsin Women’s Rugby Chili Cookoff drew a great crowd and helped the team raise funds for the upcoming spring season.

Held at the team’s favorite watering hole, Wilson’s Pub & Grill, the Chili Cookoff welcomed 12 delicious chilis spanning the full flavor spectrum – from traditional red and spicy chili, to a vegetarian chili with sweet potatoes, white chicken chili to venison chili.

The WWRFC and friends continued the excellent social later into the night visiting other pubs in the neighborhood, highlighted by some competitive ping pong game/races and one team captain’s rendition of the lift from Dirty Dancing.
