Moon Township, Pa. – The RMU Department of Athletics is excited to take part in the University's fourth annual Day of Giving, a university-wide celebration of its students and a way for family, friends, alumni and fans to give back. The
2021 RMU Day of Giving is set for Tuesday, Sept. 21.
Last year, RMU received another overwhelming response for its Day of Giving, raising over $140,000 from 614 donors during the 24-hour campaign. RMU Athletics hosted its first "Virtual Sellout" campaign, raising over $21,000 for student-athletes while fall sports were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The RMU Department of Athletics hopes to reach a fundraising goal of $50,000 as part of the
2021 RMU Day of Giving to support various initiatives, from competitive excellence, special projects and programs to support a world-class experience for RMU student-athletes. You can support in a variety of ways, including the Colonial Champions Fund, a specific gift to a varsity program, the new Joe Walton Legacy Fund or the
"Hockey Is The Goal" campaign.
RMU Athletics has received challenge gifts from alumni and friends this year to encourage supporters to give to student-athlete initiatives. The popular student-athlete alumni program challenge returns in 2021, which includes $2,500 in incentives to entice alumni to give back to their programs. Other challenge gifts include up to $5,000 in matches to support new graphics and branding of RMU Athletics facilities and even matches up to $19,210 (1921 was the founding year of RMU) to support gifts to the Joe Walton Legacy Fund.
Remember to encourage family, friends, fans and supporters of RMU Athletics to donate to the
2021 RMU Day of Giving to help foster the success of current and future Colonials. RMU would like to thank all or our generous donors who give annually to ensure the Colonials have the best possible experience in the classroom and in competition.
Please follow the 2021 Day of Giving progress on RMU's social media platforms, where you can learn more about on-going challenges, areas of support and enjoy the 24 hours of fun in supporting the Colonials.
