Screening of "The Rugby Player"

Join us for a screening of The Rugby Player, the winner of multiple festival awards. The Rugby Player is an uplifting and stereotype-shattering documentary that tells the story of a mother, a son, and what it takes to be a hero. The film explores the lives of Mark Bingham, one of the passengers on United Flight 93 on 9/11, and his mother, Alice Hoagland, a former United Airlines flight attendant. The Rugby Player is a touching, funny and stirring portrait of how a son’s heroism can inspire a nation, and how a mother’s love can turn unfathomable loss into unshakable resolve. Utilizing footage shot by Bingham himself, this timely film provides keen insights for the national debates on LGBT rights, marriage equality and gay athletes in sports. ******************************* SCREENING INFORMATION ******************************* Host Committee Reception @ 6:00 PM Screenings @ 7:00 & 9:00 PM US Navy Memorial / 701 Penn Avenue, NW ******************************* GET YOUR TICKETS.... ******************************* Host Committee $30 Includes Screening, Complimentary Cocktails Reception, Reception with Filmmaker, Reserved Seating, VIP Bag, and acknowledgement in announcements, etc. General Admission $15 Includes Screening and One Complimentary Cocktail Tickets can be purchased by clicking on the following link.. http://bit.ly/1icsZGg ******************************* SUPPORTERS ******************************* HOST COMMITTEE: (In formation): Juan Alvarado, Sean Cunningham, Gus Elfving, Nathan Hagan, Michael Holmes, Shane Hickey, Matthew Lyndaker, Paul Marengo, Craig McCullough, Raj Mayur, Ross Wiltshire SPONSORS: Courtyard Marriott US Capitol, Jonathan Bardzik VIP BAG SPONSORS: Axiom for Men, DC Shorts PROMOTIONAL PARTNERS: DC Furies, DC Movie Bears, Reel Affirmations Film Festival
