The Milwaukee Iron Inc. is a wheelchair rugby team based in Milwaukee and serving the entire state of Wisconsin. We are a member in good standing of the United States Quad Rugby Association (USQRA) and are one of over 30 teams located throughout the United States. Presently the United States has around 400 individuals playing wheelchair rugby; the sport is open to male and female quadriplegics, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis individuals. The Milwaukee Iron Inc. is a nonprofit organization funded by private contributions and local sponsors. The Milwaukee Iron would be pleased to include your name on our list of contributors. Our 501 © 3 status allows you to use your contribution as a tax deduction.

Monies received are used to assist team members and our support staff with the cost of registration fees, tournament fees, hotel rooms, spare inner tubes, athletic tape, balls and miscellaneous equipment necessary to support the team. We are a volunteer organization with no paid staff; all operating costs are paid by team members and through the generous contributions of individuals and corporate sponsors.

For the Milwaukee Iron to reach our full potential, we simply need support. If you are so inclined, please send us an email at ironrugby@live.com – we read them all. And, if you have it within you to take it a step further, please contribute to our team (tax-deductible) to help cover the associated costs incurred throughout a season.
