Build only up to 1062

They're literally surrounded by pharm companies. It's a joke that their pharmacy program is tied with The University of Arkansas at #30 according to USNews. They should be a top 5 program.
from the donation page: Gifts made through the foundation are deductible for federal income, gift, and estate tax purposes.
I am a Build Fund Captain. If you have not donated yet please tag me or send me a direct message and I can explain to you how to become a donor and be on my team. As a captain it is my job to find 25 people to contribute to the fund. As little as $10/month ($120/year) can make you a donor and get you on my team! Ask me how.
as of 6/29 only 1251 people have donated to the fund. :(
You better think your statement over chrisru99 ...I only speak for myself but know of other OLD fans who have and still donate each year...as far I can tell your early 40's maybe late 30's...better to let the people in charge make those determinations...just saying.
Where do you find the detail info. The website only shows the total $ and # of donors.
I'm taking the difference between the previously reported total and the current one. Just saving everyone the time of having to do math.
Anybody keeping a log of donors and total $ amount for each update? Would be cool to see how we are progressing.
This is a marathon not a sprint. I think Hobbs will get us there.

Give it up bro no one cares? Did the mods threaten you yet with banishment from the forum for hurting people's feelings about 1200 people giving out of 500 thousand living alumni. That's not counting all of the super duper hard core Rutgers fans of this site. Opinions and excuses and complaints and you guys want Hobbs to expand on the game day experience. Hope they have varsity players donation buckets at the stadium entrances collecting this fall.

Pegula actually donated $102 million. $88 for the arena and $14 million for scholarship endowment for hockey.
BMS does have a program in place that they will match any donation given to RU from their employees and they have a lot of RU alumni who work for them. This is how we got all our priority points, so quick. They match every donation we give every year.
I challenged him to become a Build Fund captain and recruit 25 new donors and said I would be the first one to join his team and he didn't man up and accept the offer.
IMO he shouldn't be allowed to bitch about the topic anymore. His obsession is weird.
I will say that @S_Janowski DID step up after @chrisru99 failed to deliver as a team captain and he was the first to join my team.
On that note, there is still room to be on my team. Finding 25 people to join up is NOT an easy feat. It's a new fiscal year for priority points and Rutgers has made it VERY easy to donate for anyone at any price level. As little as $10/month for 5 years gets it done.
who else is willing to step up??
Ok, thanks. This makes my point even stronger. Few projects are done on the backs of "small" individual donors. It take someone or a number of people with F U money and the desire to spend it on college athletics. Rutgers has a few very generous donors but in reality they're not at the same level of RU's peers.
$1100 to the Build Fund is what I can give right now. Far from a big shot but Rutgers Football needs every dime it can get and I love Rutgers football
I've been away for over a month and the same whiners are still whining? Unreal. SMH.

Thanks for your donation, and it is nice, but may I suggest you put a lid on it? Hardly the stuff of legends to be calling others out on this board. Yelling at and/or denigrating others hardly others gets people to rally around a cause. Actually, some go in the other direction and will not participate at all if they feel they are being bullied.
I did not yell at anyone actually I have been the one yelled at and insulted on this forum by many. I can care less of course what anyone says behind a keyboard. The fact is less than 1200 people have donated to the BIG fund I doubt any RU fans are not donating because some guy from New Providence keeps saying how small our donations are. Im not whining IMO but If you or others think I am that's ok too. I reiterate that I have not bullied anyone or insult anyone but 5000 members of this site and so little have given now that is weird have a great day.
I would say the numbers are quite encouraging. In just 6 months on the job Hobbs has been able to secure $30 mil. in donations and the $25 mil. in tax credits. That's record breaking donations already and the year's only half over. This all with losing basketball/ football seasons and the off field embarrassments in both the last few years. Years of talk about the largest subsidy in the nation. We just went through arguably the worst administrations ever in the AD's office over the last six years. IMO these two were worse than dear old Fred. He may have been incompetent, but the man didn't make himself a national embarrassment . I applaud all who gave after all that.
This is a marathon not a sprint. Funding has been secured for phase 1. Start building that and people will begin to see tangible results they can get behind. Your now showing them progress and giving them hope. Potential donors will start thinking maybe this isn't the same old Rutgers inspiring them to give. Shinny new things tend to have that effect on people. Up to this point people are giving on not much progress wise or success wise. Give them something they can get behind and they'll start donating more.

The average Rutgers alum has no clue about the Big ten build fund -
Colleges are a business , college athletics is a business . It's disgusting that these institutions, after squandering and mismanaging so much money over the years, can go out and beg working people for more money. What business just asks for handouts like that?
How about stop hiring and firing coaches who we have to pay buyouts to? How about running a more efficient department ? We have wasted millions and millions of unnecessary dollars, maybe the folks here in nj are just wise to the game and won't just fork over cash to a never satisfied money pit. We already have a pretty expensive life of our own to pay for around here

Thanks! I've put a reminder in my phone to reach out to you! Enjoy the rest of your vacation.
