In 2004, the Mike Lundberg Memorial Tournament started as a fun opportunity to play winter rugby for men and women of all skill levels while donating 100% of the proceeds to help defray the costs of Mike’s treatments. Sadly, Mike lost his long battle with Leukemia in 2008. At the request of his family, we have continued the tournament to celebrate his life and help a member of the Minnesota rugby community in need.

This year’s beneficiary is Kevin Ash.  Kevin is a member of the Faribault Rugby Club who suffered a traumatic brain injury during a match two years ago.  Since the injury, he has required around the clock care and still struggles with the most basic of daily tasks.
