Soccer and Rugby Imports Announces Partnership With MORE Foundation

Connecticut and New York-Based Soccer and Rugby Specialty Company Donates Pairs of Shoes to Non-Profit Dedicated to Fighting Poverty, Hunger and Global Warming



Southport, CT - November 24, 2015 - (Newswire.com)

Soccer and Rugby Imports progresses its partnership with MORE, Modular Organic Regenerative Environments Foundation, in the continued effort to fight against poverty, hunger and global warming by collecting donated athletic shoes. 

A collection of shoes at Soccer and Rugby’s four Connecticut and one New York state locations is now underway.

“We feel strongly about the MORE Foundation Group’s efforts, and this is just one small way we can support them in this fight against issues affecting our society daily,” says Stephanie Avalos, Manager at Soccer and Rugby Imports. “Their three-phase farming strategy is making a difference in places such as Ghana, and we are more than happy to continue to help out.”

The MORE Foundation was created by Jim Riordan, a builder and developer who is passionate about demonstrating small-scale farm models that sustain yields 10 times greater than traditional African agricultural practice. The Foundation is based in Lewes, Delaware. Riordan believes that with access to micro-credit, training and appropriate technology, small farmers and villages can grow themselves out of poverty. Riordan continues to spearhead the foundation and run everyday operations.

About Soccer and Rugby Imports

Soccer and Rugby Imports was established in 1993, beginning its first seven years in a small retail strip in Westport, Conn. Since the year 2000, the Avalos family took over the business and quickly outgrew the Westport location. In 2004, as the popularity of soccer in the area increased, as well as the reach of the business, the store moved to nearby Southport, Conn. Four more locations have opened in the subsequent years: Ridgefield, Conn., Greenwich, Conn., Madison, Conn., and Bronxville, N.Y.  Soccer and Rugby Imports has been supplying Connecticut's soccer clubs, organizations across the country, and expanded its reach abroad with the growing e-commerce/website for the past 20 years. From cleats and practice gear from the retail shop to customized jerseys, shorts, warm ups and backpacks from the Team Sales department, thousands of people have been linked to Soccer and Rugby Imports. Soccer and Rugby Imports also carries exclusive gear. Soccer and Rugby's website continues to grow showcasing store apparel, footwear, and equipment along with a customized uniform ordering system.
