๐ THANK YOU TO THE VAN DE YACHT FAMILY ๐
The Northeast Wisconsin Rugby Foundation would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Van De Yacht family for thinking of our rugby community as they closed out the Cindee Van De Yacht Foundation.
Cindee was the beloved matriarch of the Van De Yacht family whose life was taken by cancer. As the family considered how best to distribute the remaining funds from the foundation created in her memory, they wanted those dollars to continue making a difference for young people in our community.
Rugby was a natural fit.
Cindeeโs son, Nick, and granddaughter, Rhiana, have been longtime members of the Green Bay Rugby family. As Nick shared, โMy mom loved all the kidsโ sports.โ
In that spirit, the family has chosen to support several local youth sports organizations, including the Northeast Wisconsin Rugby Foundation.
We are incredibly honored that Cindeeโs legacy will become part of the future of rugby in Northeast Wisconsin. This gift will help us continue building a place that serves not only todayโs players, but generations of kids, families, and the entire rugby community.
Thank you to the Van De Yacht family for your generosity, and for choosing to honor Cindeeโs memory by investing in opportunities for young people.
Her love for kids and their sports will continue to make an impact. ๐๐
