# Rizal St. Gerrard Charity Foundation

Rizal St. Gerrard Charity Foundation is a Filipino developmental women's volleyball team based in the province of Rizal. The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA) as one of four teams based in the Calabarzon region. The team plays their home games at Ynares Center in Antipolo.
The team was established in 2023 as one of the MPVA's charter teams and initially went by the Rizal Golden Coolers, being the women's volleyball counterpart of the men's basketball team of the same name.
The team is owned by the Local Government of Rizal.

## History

The Rizal Golden Coolers were first announced as one of the charter teams of the MPVA. For the inaugural 2023 season, the Rizal Golden Coolers is captained by Venice Puzon.
Despite a second-place finish in the preliminary round, Rizal only managed to place 4th, losing to the eventual champion Bacoor City Strikers in the Semifinals and later to the fifth-seeded Marikina Lady Shoemasters in the Bronze Medal Match.
On September 12, 2024, the league announced the team's name change to Rizal St. Gerrard Charity Foundation, formally separating the team from its men's basketball counterpart.
