Remember what Rice Rugby did for you, and know that you can help make an even bigger impact on the Rice Rugby players of the future.

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Rice Rugby Club, a small group of dedicated Rice Rugby Alumni (circa 1995) have volunteered to match any donations made to the Rice Rugby Club through December 1 2008, up to $20,000, thus setting the goal of raising $40,000 for the Rice Rugby Club in its 40th year.

In order to be eligible to be matched, donations must be received by the University by December 1, 2008.

Please go to www.ricerugby.com for donation instructions. (Donations can be made on-line using a credit card.)
