Ruff Riders Donation Letter -- Ross Nelson, 15:26:17 02/14/05 Mon

Santa Clara Univsersity Ruff Riders
500 El Camino Real
Benson 1
Santa Clara, CA 95053
Re: Ruff Rider Fundraising
February 14, 2005
Dear Fellow Bronco Fans,
We, Ross Nelson and Mike Zozos, would like to formally introduce ourselves as the co-presidents of the Santa Clara University Ruff Riders. Ruff Riders is Santa Clara’s official student booster club and maintains a membership of more than 2300 active members. It is the largest student organization on campus. For a one time fee of $45, each student receives a t-shirt, free admission and preferred seating to all Santa Clara home athletic events through their four-year academic career.
Ruff Riders operates as a subsidiary of the athletic department. Although each member pays $45 to join the club, the Santa Clara University Athletic department uses this membership money to pay for t-shirts and admission to the athletic events. Ruff Riders sole source of funding is a $50 per quarter budget provided by the Associated Student Senate. We are in the unfortunate situation of having a club that is unable to provide benefits to all of its members.
As Ruff Rider co-presidents, we are trying to rekindle Bronco spirit. The club would like to be able to offer more events that encourage school spirit such as bus trips to away games, tailgate barbeques, pizza nights at local restaurants, and game time giveaways. However, we can not sponsor these types of events on a budget of only $150 per year.
The Santa Clara University Ruff Riders is asking for your support. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. As a registered student organization on Santa Clara’s campus, we can make your donation tax-deductible. You can make checks payable to “Ruff Riders” to the above address. Please help us reach our potential as an organization just like the infamous Kennel Club has done at Gonzaga University. We strongly believe in our ability to rally the Santa Clara students and create the same exciting atmosphere as seen during the days of the Rodents or the days of Steve Nash.
If you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to contact us. Thank you in advance for your support and as always…GO BRONCOS!!!
Sincerely,
Ross Nelson Mike Zozos
President, Club Operations President, Athletics Operations

Very cool, Ross. And I kinda respect the complete lack of subtlety.
I'm gonna think about this a bit though. I am on a self-imposed donation embargo, due to my disgust with the hoops program. I was saving a big donation for the day they announce Davey's retirement.
BUT.. yours is a good cause.
Keep up the good work. Bring it in force this weekend.

Re: New To Bronco Hoops -- Bronco Fan, 14:29:26 02/14/05 Mon
I'd be interested in understanding how to contrbute financially to the club.
We talk a lot about recruiting on this board, and honestly, I think one thing that would really help is if potential recruits saw strong student support and a more hostile environment for all games (including non-conference).
Here's a question for you RR - what would you do with any money contributed and how would/could that relate to stronger turnout? Another question, is it possible to sponsor a pre-game party (i.e. buy kegs) for the RR?

The last message i sent had our donation letter for ruff riders. With the money contributed we would use it for purchasing give-aways. We talked about possibly getting the silicon bracelets like the "livestrong" ones. They are popular among the college kids. But we thought it would be cool to have "Broncos" ones. My previous message talks about a few of the other things we would want to use the money for.
It is definately possible to sponsor a pre-game party. Maybe for the WCC? We have gotten some good turn outs to those. Students, for some odd reason, can't turn down kegs! :) Weiiiiird. We had one before a game and said that only ruff riders can come, and that they need to wear their ruff rider shirts. It wasn't an official "ruff rider sponsored event" because we arn't allowed to provide booze, but we had it at my house and it was sorta implied. We also do RR "flip cup tournaments." It's a drinking game involving teams and a lot of competition. We have had around 160 people at one before and about 7 kegs or so. It was a fun. Send me or mike an e-mail if you are interested in doing a pre-game.
