The 13th Annual Belgian Beer Night was held at the The Dubliner – Hoboken New Jersey’s largest rooftop bar, in-support of Veterans Rebuilding Life! The fundraising event was organized and executed by official VRL sponsors: The Bayonne Bombers Rugby Club. Comprised of over 60 players from 12 different nations, the Bayonne Bombers compete in Division II Rugby, and belong to the Empire State Rugby Football Union.

The Rugby Club chose to support VRL’s humanitarian mission by generously providing 100% of the events proceeds to Veterans Rebuilding Life. The hosted venue sold-out within minutes of the doors opening, and reached maximum capacity within the first hour of the night!
