The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, Locally Known as Life Planning Group, Commits Significant Donation to Local Rugby Club

Stony Brook, NY - August 11th, 2015 - The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company (Penn Mutual), locally known as Life Planning Group, is excited to support the Stony Brook Seawolves rugby club. Life Planning Group has donated $2,500 to the program.

Penn Mutual is the title sponsor for the largest Rugby 7s (7 players a side) tournament –“The Penn Mutual Collegiate Rugby Championship.” They are also the title sponsor for The Varsity Cup, the national collegiate championship of the 15-a-side rugby format.

Penn Mutual’s commitment to the sport underscores the company’s broader commitment to attract a diverse workforce and create job opportunities for talented young men and women who are seeking a career that provides a promising future and a noble purpose.    

“Life Planning Group and Penn Mutual are proud to support the growing sport of rugby, at a local and national level,” says Peter Ganley, Life Planning Group President. “This sport is quickly on the rise, just as our industry is continually growing and evolving. We appreciate the dedication and work ethic of the men and women affiliated with rugby. We find these as exemplary qualities for individuals looking to join the Penn Mutual team and we are energized by the enthusiasm of these athletes.”

Rugby 7s returns to the Olympic Games in 2016, following an 84-year hiatus, where the United States will defend its gold medal from the 1924 Olympics in Paris. The Penn Mutual Collegiate Rugby Championship is part of a nationwide effort to build American rugby talent in preparation for the Olympics. In the past three years, the Collegiate Rugby Championship has produced 15 players who have gone on to play for the U.S. National teams.

In the 2014 Collegiate Rugby Championship, 20 of the top colleges and universities competed for the title, including Penn State, Notre Dame, Texas, Michigan, Navy, Ohio State and reigning national champion, The University of California Golden Bears. Beginning in 2015, a portion of Penn Mutual’s sponsorship investment will be awarded to the winning team, the proceeds of which will be used to build the team’s rugby program on-campus.
