In 2023, James River Women put on their first Christmas in July 7s tournament. The team had wanted to host its own tournament for a while, and decided on a sister tournament to the men's Christmas 7s tournament that occurs every year in December. In its inaugural year, the tournament hosted 17 teams and was chosen to be a MAC qualifier in just the second year! For year 1, the tournament only had one men's and one women's division, named to honor former players Monk Vaughn and Mary Wrenn. In year 2, JR will be tripling that and offering 6 divisions.
