Pillars of Support

Referees

The Shanagher-Morrison Referee Development Fund provides grants to USA referees for domestic and international training courses and competition opportunities, focusing on those applicants with a passion for improving their skills and refereeing at the highest possible levels.

The Fund is named after two of the most celebrated referees in the history of USA Rugby, Denis Shanagher Sr. and Don Morrison, both members of the US Rugby Hall of Fame.

"The Foundation helped me fundraise for a trip to Ireland where I was able to challenge myself. The Shanagher-Morrison Referee Development Fund matched the grant, which would never have happened without the Foundation."
