Dear Friend of Rutgers Athletics,

Leadership, commitment, pride and passion are cornerstones of success. At Rutgers, I see this great set of traits every day. I see it in our student-athletes as they train their bodies and their minds to reach their potential. I see it in our coaches in their care and dedication to developing young people through athletic competition. And, I see it in our most valuable fans – the members of the Scarlet R – through their unwavering support.

When you make a contribution to Rutgers Athletics, you become a member of the Scarlet R Club -- Rutgers’ most valuable team. Scarlet R members stand above the rest by declaring a personal commitment to the university community, its student-athletes, and our collective aspiration to be champions.

Scarlet R members help supplement the ever-increasing need for scholarship support, providing nearly 800 student-athletes with the opportunity to mesh an education from world-class professors with the unique learning experience intercollegiate athletic competition supplies.

Scarlet R members contribute to the evolution of an athletic program that extends far-reaching benefits to the entire Rutgers community. With the continued development of new and improved facilities, enhanced academic support, and the attraction and retention of top coaches, the platform that enables consistent success will be complete. The result: an explosion of pride, popularity, and national recognition.

Scarlet R members take it upon themselves to lead by example. You set the standard for all current and future Rutgers fans. You are the foremost ambassadors of Rutgers Athletics and the MVP for all seasons. I am sincerely grateful for your support.

Robert E. Mulcahy, III
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
