Planting trees
On November 22, 2008 the UNRBA Tree Planting Service project took place and Carolina Women's Rugby served as helping hands to plant trees along the Upper Neuse River basin. It was a fun day of tree planting philanthropy extravaganzas! A special thanks goes to our Philanthropy chair, Malia Losordo, for organizing the event and discovering great opportunites for UNCWRFC to help give back to our community. A link to the photos is here, and a link to the UNRBA Blog is here.
