"Rugby gives a big “THX” to all of you out there who purchased Match Rugby shirts. The Match Fund has been so successful that we are able to make our first donations — and we want you to be a part of the process. In a collaboration with Teach For America, we’ve selected five organizations created by Teach For America alumni: The Generation Project, Girl Talk, Youth Organizing Urban Revitalization Systems, Transform America and Tipping Points Test Prep. The Match Rugby team will select one of these organizations to receive a $25,000 grant and a runner-up, who will receive a $15,000 grant. The Ralph Lauren Foundation will weigh voting on this page as one part of the process of choosing the two winners of the Match Rugby grants. After the jump, learn more about each of the finalists and place your vote as to which organization you’d like to see win the cash. Cause you always look good when you give back."

Half way down the page you can vote for which non-profit should win the grand prize of $25,000! Jordan is part of Transform America!

"Through Transform America, Chester Asher (New York City Corps ’03) aims to empower youth to make significant change in their communities by getting them more engaged in advocacy and policy. Transform America’s approach is to create Youth Councils throughout New York City, made up of a group of middle and high school students who meet to identify issues of importance and directly affect change in their communities. Youth Councils are run out of city council members’ offices, enabling participants to witness the way political change is made. Youth Councils conduct research about issues that affect their communities and draft policy recommendations. These recommendations are made to the city council as well as to school administrations, providing a direct youth voice and allowing youth to have influence in decisions that affect their lives and communities."
