Fundraising and Donations last updated: 04/25/07 Fundraising is one a very important aspect of our team. Our team is a club sport operated under The UCDavis Department of Recreation, Sports Clubs. Since we are a club sport, a large percentage of our financial contribution comes from each player dues and fundraising events that we plan. Fundraising aid us in our attempt to attend tournaments all over the state, purchase uniforms, have wonderful coaches and trainers, and also prepare for possible trips to national. As a team our fundraisers are centrally located in Davis and primarily advertised on Campus, we make all our flyers and distribute them as widely as possible. As students we try our best to fundraise but with the limited resources we still manage to hold most of our annual events, like Rugger's Delight and Singing Valentine Grams, and a few new ones! Support from our family, friends, and Alumni are always held dear to the team and appreciated. Please check back for a list of our 2007-2008 family supporters. Corporate Sponsors are always welcome and valued. The team is currently recovering from the cost of traveling to Florida for Sweet Sixteen’s. Donations are still great appreciated and need. The team would like to thanks all those participated, supported, and attended any fundraising efforts by the team. We could not do it without you! Fundraising Updates: This year was very exciting for fundraising. On January 24 and we had our first annual Rugger’s Delight of the year and was a big success! On April 13, 2007 we held an event similar event called Sweets for Sweet Sixteen’s, a playoff version of Rugger’s Delight (RD) to help ease the cost of traveling to Florida. RD is one our most popular fundraiser known all over campus for the countless number of desserts. The event enables our supporters to socialize with us as a team off the field. RD is truly a team effort, thanks are directed to all who baked, , or attended! For those who are new to the team or websites RD is an all-can-eat dessert for $5. Tradition says that satisfied customer can be seen walking back down Anderson towards campus with that happy face we like to call "dessert coma". $5 is a steal for this kind of happiness! This year’s Rugger’s Delight and Sweets for Sweet Sixteen’s could were only successful because of wonderful supporters. THANKS!!! Also, thanks to all of our loving fans and friends that attended or took part in our Valentines Day Grams this year. Valentines Grams were delivered successfully on Wednesday, February 14, 2007 by our fabulous team! Serenades were the popular item this year, with songs ranging from the original “You are my sunshine” to 2gether “Calculus”. This year’s Valentines Days Grams was a success and brought in double the amount of the last year’s. This year we added a special event, “Washing our way to Florida” to help ease traveling cost. With the help of Albertson on Covell, who allowed us to use a portion of their parking lot and Nugget Markets for supplies we we’re able to hold a car wash, on April 15 and 16. Members of the Davis community and our fellow UCDavis students surprised us with a wealth of support.
