ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT and TICKET

OPERATIONS

Rutgers Athletics donors continued an unprecedented string of achievement by setting yet another fundraising record during the 2009-10 athletic seasons. Responding to a challenge to better the $16 million record set in 2008-09, our donors pushed gifts and pledges to an all-time high this past year nearing $17 million. Annual fundraising figures have grown exponentially since 2004-05 when the annual giving total was just $3.5 million.

The student-athletes, coaches, and staff thank you for delivering your loyal, phenomenal support. Your help has enhanced the experience for all those who enjoy Rutgers sports and has made it possible for Rutgers to attract the best and brightest student-athletes. Your support provides us with the financial resources to offer scholarships, develop a renowned academic support program, improve training and competition facilities, and embark on trend-setting initiatives such at the Life Skills Program that will benefit the lives of hundreds of young men and women. Most importantly, your generosity enables us to create an environment of excellence where student-athletes will earn degrees, become leaders, and win championships.

If you would like to learn more about charitable giving opportunities, premium and priority seating options, and/or season ticket and single game ticket purchases please contact any member of our staff. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, again, for your ongoing support of Rutgers Athletics.
