Seattle Rugby Club

The Goal

Seattle Rugby Club has been part of the city for more than 60 years, with generations of alumni from the Seattle RFC, OPSB and Saracens eras. But like most amateur clubs, it ran on volunteers, with no steady source of funding and no single place to tell its story. The club needed a modern website, a recurring membership program alumni could join, and regular reports and fundraisers that showed supporters where their money goes, so the Orcas could keep competing at the top of USA club rugby.

What We Did

• Website: Built and manage seattle.rugby in Webflow, with schedules, rosters, player awards, club history, jerseys over the years and a Growth & Sustainability page.
• Clubhouse Membership: Launched the Clubhouse program in Memberstack with Stripe payments, monthly and annual tiers starting at $15 a month, and new members synced to Mailchimp.
• End of Season Reports: Design an annual End of Season Report each summer and host every edition on the website.
• Email & News: Write and send club news, fundraisers like the See's Candies holiday sale, board recruitment and stories such as the USA Military Rugby Tour to the UK.
• 60th Anniversary: Designed posters, a history timeline, a dinner program and a presentation for the club's 60th anniversary celebration.
• Strategy & Sponsorship: Built the 2026–2031 strategic plan and the club's sponsorship and partnership sheets.

The Impact

Seattle Rugby Club now has a professional home online and a steady base of support behind its teams. Thirty-one alumni and fans are active Clubhouse members, giving every month or year to cover travel, kit, coaching and medical support for the men's and women's programs, and supporters raised $24,500 to fully fund the first year of an executive director. Each summer's End of Season Report shows supporters what their gifts made possible, and the 60th anniversary brought generations of players together. With a strategic plan through 2031 and a recurring membership program in place, the club can focus on growing the game in Seattle.
