BIG THANK YOU FROM HUNGARIAN RUGBY UNION ON OUR 200TH DELY!
LV= SOS Kit Aid made it's 200th kit delivery to Budapest, Hungary recently. We have received the following letter of thanks to commemorate our 200th delivery from Pal Turi the President of the Hungarian Rugby Union :-.
LV = SOS Kit Aid
Attn: John Broadfoot – Co-Chairman
Budapest, 4th October 2011
Dear Mr. Broadfoot,
On behalf of the Hungarian Rugby Union, can I say just how grateful we in the Hungarian Rugby Union are for all the SOS KIT you and your colleagues have sent to us over the years?
In the beginning, we really struggled to start up new sides – and yet this was, we knew, CRUCIAL to our development. Your work, and that of the other charity organizations, helped us to fill this gap. It was – it is! – a great help in spreading rugby to the new cities and towns, across Hungary. Thank you from all of us!!
As far as we know, the last LV= SOS shipment to us was the 200th during your life and - as the previous 199 consignments - it has helped developing rugby nations in all over the World. CONGRATULATIONS!! We are so proud to receive this "anniversary” delivery.
In Hungary we have already received hundreds of rugby jerseys, shorts, balls, and training kits. HRFU has sent them to youth rugby kids as young as 8, 10 or 14, and the older age groups, such as the seniors and OldBoyz team. Yes, we’re now old enough to have our first "OldBoyz” sides!! Some of the brand new tracksuits went to the Hungarian National Team members, sponsors, coaches and referees and that is the way the HRFU can assess and count the real progress amongst rugby men and women. We have sent back to you some photos showing the smile faces of the kids when they were receiving their new team kits; and it caused a great deal of happiness for everyone.
Every year we get 2-3 shipments with 36 boxes, so it has reached all of the more then 2,000 Hungarian rugby fanatic people. Based on your model, the HRFU itself has now set up our own charity programme, where players can donate their used kit for the youngand thus recirculate the kits. So, we have our own very special thanks for LV = SOS Kit Aid, and do this by promoting you on our www.rugby.hu homepage.
I wish you all in LV = SOS a successful and long working with your team; and we hope we can continue our partnership with you well into the future.
Your sincerely
Pál Túri, President HRFU
