PISCATAWAY, N.J. – On Wednesday, March 24, the Rutgers Athletics Community is invited to be part of Rutgers Giving Day to help empower the next generation of leaders, amplify marginalized voices, and support research that is revolutionizing health care, the environment, community well-being, and so much more. R Fund welcomes the entire Rutgers Family to join the effort — with a gift, with a voice, and with Scarlet pride.
In the spirit of sporting competition, R Fund is tracking a Giving Day Athletics Leaderboard and encourages Giving Day donors to make a difference for student-athletes. Throughout March 24, the four Big Ten athletic teams with the most donors will win an extra $8,000, $5,000, $2,500, or $1,000.
The Athletics Leaderboard is one of a variety of different fundraising challenges throughout Giving Day. They include hourly, daylong, and social media challenges using #RUGivingDay – all hosted on the Rutgers Giving Day Page. If supporters are unable to make a financial gift, they can still earn money for Rutgers Athletic programs by joining the #RUGivingDay social media challenges and spreading the word.
Matching Rutgers Athletics' growth – by way of success in competition, increases in academic honors, and the rise of new buildings dedicated to Scarlet Knight student-athletes – R Fund is driving to grow its mark on Rutgers Giving Day. Giving Day in 2020 saw 1,359
Donors combining for $205,439 in gifts.
Giving Day participants have the freedom to choose how their gift will make an impact. Gifts can be sent directly to supporters' favorite program or one of the athletic priority funds, including Rutgers Scholarship Fund, Big Ten Champions Fund, and Leadership Development & Strategic Partnerships.
