FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – November 11, 2009

Brain Surgery Worldwide, Inc., CEO named a Director of
the United States Rugby Football Foundation

John Carr, Founder and CEO of Brain Surgery Worldwide, Inc. has been named a Director of the United States Rugby Football Foundation.

The US Rugby Football Foundation was created in 1963 to grow and promote the sport at the grass roots level in the United States. Rugby is now played by over 2,200 men's, women's, masters, girls and boys clubs in the United States with the greatest growth coming in the formation of new youth and high school rugby programs.

“I am honored to be a part of this organization, and am committed to growing our sport”  John Carr.

The Foundation preceded USA Rugby (the governing body of the sport in the U.S.) by some twelve years and was set up as a charitable Public Foundation with chartered goals of promoting and popularizing the game of rugby in the United States. While the Foundation is completely independent of USA Rugby, its programs generally complement and support those of USA Rugby.

While most of its support is directed towards youth rugby, the USRFF also provides grants to other worthy rugby causes, as evidence by the Foundation's past financial assistance of the United States Collegiate All-Americans tours to Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. The Foundation is also in the process of developing an international rugby exchange program.

Former United States National Team captain Brian Vizard is Executive Director of the Foundation. “We are very pleased to have John on board with us in helping to increase the understanding of Rugby in the United States.”

The USRFF is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization established in 1963. Although its main focus is supporting youth and high school rugby, the Foundation also provides grants to coaches and referees; establishes international student exchanges, provides the Kevin Higgins College Scholarships, and also provides grants to Safety and Risk Management Research.
