People will be gathering and playing rugby for a good cause in the Beach neighbourhood Sunday afternoon.

The organization “Gainline Africa” is hosting its second annual Rugby Sevens Tournament, with raising support and awareness for its programs in Uganda the goal.

David Marchesseault is the founder of Gainline Africa, and he tells 680News they are working with a small community in Gulu, Uganda.

“We have kind of worked to collaborate in order to provide both educational opportunities for the youth there, in eight high schools for both girls and guys for them to play rugby,” Marchesseault said.

Sunday’s event takes place at Tubs and Gee Gage Field on Eastern Avenue.

Several members of Canada’s National Rugby Team are expected to take part.

A barbecue is also being hosted.
