The New Mexico Brujos RFC is an organization that is not only dedicated to fielding a championship rugby team, but is also deeply committed to Albuquerque and the surrounding communities. We believe that community involvement and support are an essential part of a winning rugby team.
As a team and as individuals, the Brujos and it's players donate their time and help raise money to support many charitable organizations. This involvement not only raises the Brujos profile but, a lot more importantly, fulfills our social mission of facilitating growth, development and improvement within the community.
Below are some of the organizations that the NM Brujos Support:
