Earlier this month, the Brown Club of Rhode Island, in partnership with the Rhode Island Football Club, attended an exciting game in which RIFC faced off against the Tampa Bay Rowdies during Hometown Heroes Night. BCRI members, alums, friends, and family got the chance to experience the exclusive pregame high-five tunnel and participate in a post-game group photo on the field. Despite the weather, it was a great night, and we’re excited to host more events like this in the future! 💙⚓⚽💛

Join BCRI at the Green Animals Topiary Garden in Portsmouth, RI, for a family-friendly visit to a special and less well-known Rhode Island gem. The Garden has dozens of large, whimsical topiaries, a bamboo patch to walk through, and a great lawn with a view of Narragansett Bay. There’s also space for children to run around and a beautiful Victorian house with shaded porches. Pack a picnic lunch and join us there for some fun out in nature. See the link in bio! 🌸🌱
