The Faded Red Alumni Association needs your assistance.

With a field of their own to call home, strong player turnout, strong leadership, and successes on the field, the only thing that can keep the Cornell Rugby Teams from becoming their best is limited funding. We need your help and even limited donations to the campaign will help to further transform Cornell Rugby. Give Today!

Annual Giving to the Cornell Rugby Teams qualifies for Cornell Giving Credit and is fully tax deductible, by incorporating CU Rugby into your total giving, you’ll not lose a beat in terms of your overall Cornell support.

Cornell Rugby and the Faded Red Alumni Association are deeply thankful for your support and efforts and we hope to hear from you soon.

The Current Annual Need – $25,000

We’ve analyzed the needs as presented by our three clubs and the real big items that continue to shadow us are:

1. Uniform and equipment costs
2. Coaching stipends and training expenses
3. Travel costs to pre- and post-season events
4. Stipends to select side players for travel
5. Proper upkeep of medical kits and event EMT support
6. Field maintenance
7. Special projects-travel, events, etc.

Keep in mind that these needs exist for all three clubs and because we’ve not had this running on an annual basis thus far, the need is especially strong right now in terms of uniforms and supplies. This first annual campaign will help us to get our feet back under us and allow for some future planning on exact budgetary needs. Please note that a small portion of these monies in the Kickoff Campaign will go to cover additional costs associated with the completion of the new pitch on East Hill.
