MICR Rugby Field
Grand Opening

Join us on Friday, June 26th at 11:00am for the MICR Rugby Field Grand Opening!

The Grand Opening will include a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:00 am, and a community day celebration from 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm!

MICR’s home field will be more than a field - it will be a space built for connection, growth, and long-term impact.

We’re so excited to celebrate with a casual, high-energy community event with family, students, and supporters! The event will include touch rugby, food, and activities to celebrate!

We’re looking forward to seeing you there on June 26! We would also like to extend a special thank you to Mayor Lee Harris, Memphis Shelby County Schools, and Shelby County for making the MICR Rugby Field possible!
