CSU “Ram Rugby” Alumni,
2010 marks the 40th Anniversary of CSU Ram Rugby and we’re planning to make this a special year. Labor Day weekend ( 9/4-5), we’ll be celebrating the 40th year of CSU rugby in Ft Collins and we hope you’ll be able to join us. Stay tuned to this web site for more details about the weekend. We would also like to communicate regularly with you via email about match results and other Ram Rugby news so please make sure to provide us with your contact information by linking to the alumni sign-up form. After signing up, register on the site so you can look up old teammates and network with the entire list of alumni.
CSU finished the fall 2009 season in 2nd place and will be competing this spring for a spot in the collegiate “Final 16” national tournament. In order to insure that Blake Stevens (head coach), his coaching staff and the team have the resources to build the premier collegiate rugby program in the Rockies and become regular competitors at the final 16 tournament, we’ve launched the 40/40 Capital Campaign. Our goal is to generate $40,000 of donations for the team over the next 2 years to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Ram Rugby…for those of you that studied higher math, that’s $1,000 for each year! Though the university provides some financial support for the rugby program, the majority of expenses each year are covered by the players and fundraising. Your support will enable the team to cover escalating costs for uniforms, equipment, travel expenses to the regional and national tournaments and funding the interest bearing endowment.
We’re holding a competition between the 4 decades of alumni to see which decade contributes the most to our $40,000 goal. Joining me on the new board of alumni are Fred Paoli ( CSU football ’72-‘75 and former U.S. Eagle), Bob Porter ( ’75-’83), John Sprengle (’76-’79), Harley Westfall (’71-’72), Scott Westfall (’99-’03) and Jason Wolfe (’96-’00). You can expect to hear from us periodically to update you on our progress. We understand the challenges facing everyone in this tough economic climate and truly appreciate whatever support you can provide the team. Please visit the Donations page on this site to make your gift. Your help will enable us to build a strong financial foundation for Ram Rugby and field future champions…on and off the field!
Best,
Greg
