About Carolina Olde Boys

Carolina Rugby alumni, the Carolina Olde Boys, are among some of the most dedicated in the nation, with many donating both time and money to continue to support the team that taught them the game they love. C.O.B. members regularly attend USC home matches, including the team's annual affair with Clemson, and are generally very supportive of the team through the purchasing of new equipment and providing assistance when necessary to fund the team's playoff runs. Each Fall, C.O.B. members trek back to Columbia to take on USC in the annual alumni match and recall the stories of their college years. In 2017, the team celebrated its 50th Anniversary in style, with over 100 C.O.B. participants in the weekend's activities.

The Carolina Foundation is the official fundraising entity of Men's Rugby at the University of South Carolina. The foundation is comprised of committed supporters of rugby at the University of South Carolina. Carolina Rugby is successful because individuals support the Team, both in participation of an annual giving program and attendance to Carolina Rugby functions. Scholarships, travel assistance, and procurement of uniforms and supplies are essential elements of a successful rugby program. The Carolina Foundation commits its resources and energies towards providing for each of these critical needs. 

The Carolina Foundation is a 501c3 tax exempt non-profit corporation created to deepen the growth of rugby at the University of South Carolina and to bring the sport to light in the local community. Specific purposes include:

* To assist in coordinating a program of support for the rugby team at the University of South Carolina.
* Use monetary support from a variety of sources acting in concert for advancement of rugby at the University of South Carolina.
* To use gifts as scholarships for purposes of recruitment and retention of players who are not only successful on the field, but also require financial assistance towards furthering their education.
* To participate in philanthropic events with the purpose of bettering the community that has supported Carolina Rugby since its inception.
* To participate in any campaign which would further the stature of rugby in the community.
* To provide mentoring to current students of the university, as well as provide prospective students with information regarding USC and the rugby program.

The South Carolina Men’s Rugby program embodies a tradition of excellence both in the exhibition of the game and in the impeccable personal standards espoused by each player. The contributions made by Carolina Foundation donors assist in continuing the quality of sportsmanship of individuals, as well as the team in its entirety.
