Hello Rutgers University Alumni and Supporters,

I hope this message finds you all well. I am posting here to request financial support for an upcoming trip to support the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football team as we plan on ruining the “White Effect” on September 21st in Blacksburg, VA.

In the past we have turned to the boards for support to create our core memory of a trip for fourteen students to Indiana University to watch the Scarlet Knights become bowl eligible, as well as the notorious fifty person trip to the 19 point Rutgers comeback in State College.

This trip’s goal is to bring thirty executive board, committee, and general body Riot Squad members to Lane Stadium to give our Scarlet Knights the unparalleled support they deserve as well as build upon the sense of community and pride associated with our great university.

Transportation:
We plan on bringing eight cars full of students to Blacksburg leaving at various times throughout the day on Friday, September 20, due to classes, work, the career fair, etc. Additionally, the “unc” of the Riot Squad, @aleccr12, who is covering the game, will provide transportation by road again (in his mom van that seats seven!).

Accommodation:
We have booked an Airbnb cabin just outside Blacksburg, VA which we will stay on Friday and Saturday night.

Estimated Budget:
Our preliminary budget for the trip is as follows:

Super Bowl Box Fundraiser: $975
Student Trip Fee: $750
Total Raised: $1725

Transportation:
Gas Expenses: $600

Accommodation:
Airbnb for 30 in Blacksburg: $1,960

Miscellaneous/Overhead: $200

Total Estimated Trip Cost: $2,760

Total Requested Funds: $1,035

In return for your generous support, we plan to recognize all donors as sponsors for the trip. This recognition will include acknowledgment and posts on our social media platforms, and gratitude expressed at any related events.

We believe that this trip will be a fantastic opportunity to strengthen the student community and spirit here at Rutgers and provide our students with a memorable and unique experience. We appreciate your consideration of our funding request and look forward to the possibility of making this trip a reality for as many students as possible with your support.

If you are interested in donating, please Venmo @brentisagamer with the subject line “Virginia Tech Donation.” Every donation will get us miles closer to Blacksburg! If you have any ideas or questions on how to make this the best trip possible for us or would like to submit a donation another way, please contact myself at 917-881-6889 or at tsl57@scarletmail.rutgers.edu.

Thank you for your time and consideration and Go RU!

Tyler Levy
Rutgers Riot Squad President
