The Escanaba Berserkers Rugby Football Club is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every sponsorship directly supports the growth of rugby across Michigan's Upper Peninsula through equipment, player development, youth initiatives, community outreach, and club operations.

Built for Long-Term Partnerships

Our sponsorship program is designed to create meaningful partnerships—not one-time donations. Each sponsorship tier offers increased visibility and recognition while helping us continue building rugby throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

As your level of support grows, so does your brand's exposure through our website, social media, community events, tournaments, club apparel, and promotional materials. Whether you're a small local business or a regional organization, we want every sponsor to receive real value while helping us build something lasting.

  • Every sponsor receives meaningful recognition.
  • Higher sponsorship levels receive increased visibility and marketing opportunities.
  • Limited sponsorship availability helps maximize the value of each partnership.
  • Sponsorships directly support youth development, adult rugby, equipment, travel, community outreach, and the continued growth of the club.

Our sponsorships are marketing partnerships with community impact—not simply donations.

Partnership Impact

Your support helps us grow rugby across the U.P. — from first-time players picking up a ball in Escanaba to competitive matches that bring the whole region together.
