Founded in 2002 by a group of dedicated UCLA
Rugby alumni and supporters, Friends of Bruin Rugby (FOBR) is dedicated to
promoting and supporting the sport of Men’s Rugby at UCLA. With strong
leadership and an active and growing alumni membership, FOBR has been
instrumental in raising the funds and support needed to re-establish UCLA Men’s
Rugby as one of the elite collegiate programs in the US. In order to achieve
our goals, FOBR host numerous events that support the program financially and
encourage alumni/supporter involvement. The Dennis Storer Classic (Pac-10),
Hall of Fame Dinner, Golf Tournaments and Rose Bowl Tailgate are all great
events that allow our supporters to reconnect with each other and support our
cause. Please continue
