At Faded Red, we’re all about Cornell Rugby and the good folks who contribute to this organization and the success of our teams on the field. So to return the favor, we’ve made it a priority to give you an in-depth look at our operations each and every year. You make us go, and you deserve transparency. With that in mind, Faded Red’s 2012 Annual Report is here. Inside you’ll find updates on our fundraising programs, the expanding footprint of Ivy Rugby, big changes coming in 2012 to both the CURFC and CWRFC, our growing communications efforts and a letter from Faded Red’s President on the state of Cornell Rugby. We can’t thank you enough for your continued support and donations, but we can definitely work hard to keep you informed. We hope you enjoy the 2012 Faded Red Annual Report, and as always, please reach out to our staff if you have any questions or concerns. Again, to read the full 2012 annual report online, click here.
With another year upon us, we’d like to take a moment to introduce you to Faded Red’s leadership team. Honestly, not much has changed since 2011 and we’re happy to report our entire team remains in place. We’ve enjoyed a lot of continuity at the top, and we hope it shows in the progress Faded Red has made over the past three years. However, with that said, we’re always eager to bring new ideas onboard, and we’re currently exploring ways to expand our officer ranks. If you, or another Cornell Rugby alumni you know, have skills that can help Faded Red grow, don’t hesitate to let us know. To get acquainted with the full Faded Red team or to reach out and start a conversation about how you can help, check out our officers page.
Tom Bachrach, our head of finance, is a very busy man. When he’s not working at his real job or chasing down his new baby girl, he’s keeping track of Faded Red’s bank accounts and our growing donor rolls. Behind the scenes, he keeps the Faded Red leadership team up to speed with monthly reports and constantly forces us to stay on our toes while he looks for new ways to make things more efficient for our donors. But when it comes to public-facing endeavors, few things make Tom prouder than building out our annual donor list. Every name, new and old, on the list is a reflection of the generosity of Cornell’s numerous rugby alums, and it keeps us all motivated to continue building a better rugby tradition at Cornell. Thanks for all of your support in 2011, and we look forward to working together again in 2012.
