Raleigh, NC – PuroClean of Northeast Raleigh, a family‑owned property‑damage restoration business, announced a new sponsorship of the Raleigh Rugby Football Club. The partnership underscores the company’s commitment to supporting local families and youth athletics in the Triangle.
About the rugby club
Founded in April 1981, the Raleigh Rugby Football Club is a nonprofit organization recognized by the IRS as a tax‑deductible charitable entity. With more than 300 members, the club fields teams for children ages four through eighth grade, high‑school boys and girls (the Cobras and Rattlesnakes), a women’s side called the Venom, and a men’s side known as the Vipers. The club competes in the North Carolina Youth Rugby Union and the Mid‑Atlantic Conference, offering a safe, team‑oriented environment for players of all ages.
Sponsorship timing
The sponsorship arrives at a pivotal moment. After the North Carolina Department of Transportation took the club’s longtime Poole Road facility by eminent domain in October 2024, the board began searching for a permanent home. While each team continues to practice and play at separate locations, the club’s annual events—such as its 2026 golf tournament—remain a focal point for community engagement. Local sponsor support, like that from PuroClean, helps keep participation costs low and ensures rugby stays accessible throughout the transition.
PuroClean’s community focus
Owned and operated by Jackson Popielarcheck and Adam Shack, PuroClean of Northeast Raleigh provides 24/7 water‑damage restoration, fire and smoke cleanup, mold remediation, and biohazard removal for homeowners and businesses across Wake, Durham, Johnston, Harnett and Chatham counties. The company is IICRC Certified and EPA Lead‑Safe Certified, and it assists property owners with insurance claims, from burst‑pipe emergencies to mold issues caused by the region’s high humidity. By sponsoring the rugby club, PuroClean highlights its dedication to serving the families and businesses that form the backbone of the community.
