ponsorship
The SuperLeague's primary sponsor is Michelob Amber Bock and as such, each individual team receives a portion of those revenues. In addition to Amber Bock, the Bombers have individual sponsorships. These consist of several secondary sponsorships from local and regional businesses. [ [http://www.washingtonrugbyclub.org/ Official Washington RFC Sponsors] ]
