On Saturday, October 28th, 2023, Severn River Rugby held a Cancer Awareness Match at their home pitch in Severna Park. Surrounded by family, friends, alumni, and cancer survivors, the atmosphere was charged with support and solidarity. Among the attendees was a representative from the Wellness House of Annapolis, an organization offering invaluable support to hundreds of cancer survivors and their loved ones.

Prior to the match, the club organized t-shirt sales and sign dedications to raise funds for the Wellness House, ensuring their crucial programs and services could continue. As the Honey Badgers stepped onto the pitch to face Roanoke once again, the sun illuminated the scene, and the pregame playlist energized the players and spectators alike.

With determination fueled by the knowledge that they were contributing to a cause greater than themselves, the Honey Badgers played with unwavering spirit. The seamless movement of the ball from player to player symbolized their unity and shared purpose.

Maria Russo and Nicole Wenger stood out as players of the match, showcasing their skill and dedication. In a remarkable display of teamwork, over eight different players scored a try, culminating in a resounding 70 to 17 victory over Roanoke.

However, the true victor of the day was the Wellness House of Annapolis, as the Honey Badgers' fundraising efforts yielded over $1,000. It was a day filled with camaraderie, athleticism, and most importantly, a profound sense of support for those affected by cancer. #withyou
