The lucky winner, Jade McGrath, has received a JetBlue Vacations package for two to Barbados including round-trip flights from the US, a US $1,000 JetBlue Vacations Certificate to go towards other aspects of her trip like accommodation and complementary RBW7s tickets for both days of the highly anticipated 2019 Tournament at the iconic Kensington Oval on December 13-14. Unable to play in the tournament this year due to a collarbone injury, Jade says winning the competition to come to Barbados to cheer on her team, the USA Scion Sirens, is a dream come true. โRBW7s is one of my favourite tournaments,โ she said. โAnd itโs not just because of the incredible location and top-class Rugby competition, but also because the event is such a big deal for Womenโs Rugby globally. [Itโs incredible to be a part of] a competition so committed to promoting and supporting the development of elite-level Womenโs Rugby all over the world. Thank you RBW7s, JetBlue Vacations, and everyone involved for this wonderful campaign and tournament, and for this fantastic prize โ I canโt wait to be back in Barbados!โ Continuing to lead the way in innovative online promotions, the local RBW7s team says they designed the #followUStoBarbados campaign to encourage international spectators to visit Barbados for this yearโs Tournament. They primarily targeted RBW7s US Womenโs Elite teams and Womenโs Rugby fans โ highlighting the event as the highest paying Womenโs Club Rugby Tournament in the world to help support the development of Womenโs Rugby in the USA. Entrants were asked to support one of the participating 2019 RBW7s Womenโs Elite teams and compete in their own individual campaign across social media to see who could get to 1,000 social #followUStoBarbados interactions by mid-October. As Jade was supporting her team, the Scion Rugby Academy, they also win two round-trip flight certificates from the US to any destination that JetBlue services as part of the competition.
