Dear Friend of Brown Men’s Rugby,

The Brown Men's Rugby June 2008 Newsletter is available for download. Please forward the newsletter to anyone who would like to read it, and encourage Brown Rugby enthusiasts to get on our e-mail system and keep all contact information up to date. Those interested in signing up for our e-mail updates can do so at www.sportsfoundation.brown.edu/newsletters/ or can call the Brown Sports Foundation at (401) 863-1900.

The Brown Sports Foundation(BSF) has been enormously helpful over its 25 year history in providing a link for Brown Rugby through newsletters and the broadcast e-mail system. The BSF also was instrumental in organizing and running our rugby field dedication in 2004, and the BSF staff maintains the database that keeps me in touch with all of you. There is no direct cost to us for this support, and no demand for funds. However, the money raised provides direct support to Brown Rugby and also helps the BSF meet its financial goals.

The Sports Foundation’s fiscal year ends on June 30. EVERY GIFT OF ANY SIZE MADE TODAY WILL HELP US ACHIEVE OUR GOAL! The Sports Foundation has made giving to Brown Men’s Rugby easier than ever through a secured online giving page at www.gifts.brown.edu. Simply click on the link or paste the address into your web browser and follow the instructions on the page to make a secure on-line gift with your credit card.

If you prefer, you can also make a check out to Brown Men’s Rugby and mail it to the Brown Sports Foundation at Box 1925, Providence, RI 02912 or you can call the Sports Foundation at (401) 863-1900 and make a credit card gift over the phone. As a reminder, in order for your gift to count towards this fiscal year, checks mailed must be postmarked by June 30 and credit card gifts must be made on-line or received by June 30.

Giving Levels Drive for Five Team Gifts of $5,000+ - The goal of the Drive for Five program, which is especially pertinent during the Plan for Academic Enrichment, is to establish a vital and consistent group that annually provides leadership giving for Brown's athletic teams.

Leaders on the Rise Team Gifts of $1,000-$4,999 - Leaders on the Rise provide a solid foundation of giving that is critical to the success of Brown's teams.

Loyal Bears – The Importance of Participation Gifts of any size - Our Loyal Bears are “ever true” to Brown student-athletes, remaining firmly committed through victory and defeat by making a gift to Brown Athletics in each of the last four fiscal years. The generosity of Brown Rugby alumni, parents and friends has been extremely gratifying over the years and we do appreciate all you have done. You make our student-athletes’ wonderful Brown Rugby experience possible! Thanks for your ongoing support, please keep in touch and have a great summer!
