And it’s about GD time!
Also, saw your Twitter post about the State
Penn loss to Illinois in MBB. Ouch! But awesome at the same time.:ThumbsUp
"Ouch" as in...she is fierce. LOLI was trying to remember who here was the one that was the spokesmodel for this and I couldn't remember. My bad.
Never an "ouch" when psu loses. It's always "woo hoo fps". I actually got a text from someone last night that said "fps" as a way of telling me they had lost. Ha.
I would think there are literally thousands of people at each game that have no idea what the R fund is but they wouldn't think twice about adding a couple of bucks to a purchase.So presumably these are donations not credited to your RFund account?
Why would anyone do that..?
Isn't that why the concessions are so expensive already?

Seldom wrong and right again, sir. Paying $5 for a 20-pounce bottle of Coke Zero in 12 hours will have to suffice as my donation for today.

(and uncredited money at that as pointed out by 4Real)I'm happy to pay $5 for a 1 cent bottle of water because it supports the program.
"You want MORE money?"
I bring dozens of pop Warner kids and their parents to a game every year. I can guarantee not one of them has a clue what the R Fund is nor do they care. If a game has 40 K in the stands there will be a healthy percentage of people present who are not season ticket holders or even RU grads for that matter. So why would they have heard of the R Fund? If even half of those purchases resulted in an extra dollar donated then good on Rutgers."Literally thousands"?
I'll take that bet.

Doesn't have to equal half or even close to half to become "thousands" of dollars. The concept is a money maker elsewhere or it wouldn't exist at so many registers. When i buy something and i'm asked to add a dollar for anything ranging from cancer research to finding homes for dogs i do so. I don't do it because i have any real disposable income or that i know someone with cancer or give a shit about stray dogs. I do it because at that brief moment i quickly say to myself "sure why not?" It's convenient and RU will profit by it.Half of those people aren't going to drop money in the RFund bucket at the concession stands.

Good for you. You just said the same thing i said in my original post. RU will make a few thousand dollars.Good for you.
The overall register donation rate at commercial retailers is about 1%.
I'm not saying RFund isn't going to pick up a little spare change. I'm saying it's going to be a few thousand dollars against a $100MM athletics budget.

Which is all I wanted...the option to do/offer this at the POS.This is progress, some folks will just donate 1 or 5 and every dollar helps. And if you don't want to, you don't. CVS has the American Heart Association pop up, them or Target. Love this. Team we need another $250M dollars to build the field house and make the RAC "nicer", so glad to see this initiative.

Next step: Kiosks on the concourse of our venues that can take your money (cash, credit/debit) AND be linked to your account to give credit/earn points like @RU4Real mentioned.
Remember these? Use to see them everywhere when I was a kid.soon you will be charged to use the restrooms
+1Maybe they do, I don't know, but they should also have the option to round your purchase up to the nearest dollar and the difference goes to the RFund. Or have that done automatically, with signage around the place saying that's the policy. No real Rutgers fan would complain.
