Arnold Chavis, now a Penn State sophomore and player for the school's DI College Rugby Team has an incredible story of how rugby helped him get out of the Bronx projects, into college and into the prestigious Sharks Academy of Rugby in South Africa, which he is raising money to attend again this summer.
Arnold's story was recently featured in the NY Daily News, along with a personal letter asking for support.
