CHARITY
The Gotham Knights believe that
what we do off the pitch is just as important as what we do on it. As
part of our dedication to community involvement, we are pleased to support
the following charities:
MARK
KENDALL BINGHAM LEADERSHIP FUND
Mark Bingham, our club's co-founder, was one of the heroes of United
Flight 93 which crashed in Pennsylvania on September 11th. This fund,
set up in Mark's memory, provides University of California, Berkeley
tuition and expenses to young men and women who reflect Mark's qualities
of Leadership, Scholarship, and Sociability.www.markbingham.org
METRO
NEW YORK RUGGER 9/11 RELIEF FUND
Our team was not the only one affected by the attacks on September 11th.
In all, ten members of local rugby clubs lost their lives at the World
Trade Center. This fund provides assistance to the families of Tom Foley
(Old Blue RFC), Tommy Knox (North Jersey RFC), Mark Ludvigsen (New York
Athletic Club [NYAC] RFC), Sean Lugano (NYAC RFC), Mike McCarthy (Lansdowne
RFC), Terry McShane (Long Island RFC), Tim Reilly (White Plains RFC),
Nick Rowe (Manhattan RFC), Mike Steward (Old Blue RFC), and Brent Woodall,

GOD'S
LOVE WE DELIVER
GLWD's mission is to improve the health and well-being of men, women
and children living with HIV/AIDS and other serous illnesses by alleviating
hunger and malnutrition. They do this by preparing and delivering nutritious,
high-quality meals to those who, because of their illness, are unable
to provide or prepare meals for themselves. www.godslovewedeliver.org
THE EVENTS
Bachelor Auction - Every April, the Gotham Knights hold a charity bachelor auction where we have raised thousands of dollars for community and national charities, including Live Out Loud and Children's Hope.
We are regular participants in AIDS Walk New York. We also conduct a youth rugby program which does regular outreach to children at risk. Numerous events throughout the years have benefitted such organizations as Heritage of Pride, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and Doctors Without Borders.
