Support Sam Houston State Men's Rugby: Help Us Compete in the Final 4!
Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters of Bearkat Rugby,
For the third year in a row, our men’s rugby team has fought hard to earn a spot in the Final 4 — the pinnacle of collegiate rugby. This is a tremendous achievement for our program, and we're more determined than ever to bring home a national championship.
However, this incredible opportunity comes with a significant financial burden. To travel to Indianapolis and compete at the highest level, we need to raise over $17,000 to cover the cost of flights, lodging, and transportation for our 28 team members. These costs are overwhelming and will deplete the reserves of both the team and the Bearkat Rugby Alumni Association (BRAA).
That’s where YOU come in. Your support is crucial for us to continue our pursuit of glory and for the future of Sam Houston State Rugby. We are reaching out to you — alumni, parents, friends, and community members — to help us cover this cost and ensure that our athletes have the chance to compete at their highest potential.
Why Your Support Matters:
- Travel Costs: The cost of flying and lodging for 28 players to Indianapolis is extremely high. We need your help to ensure our players can get to the competition and represent Sam Houston with pride.
- Direct Impact: Every donation goes directly to the Bearkat Rugby Alumni Association (BRAA), a 501c3 non-profit, and is fully tax-deductible.
- No Additional Fees: Thanks to Spotfund, your entire donation will go directly to our team, without any extra processing fees.
Special Offer for Alumni: If you’re an alumnus and donate $150 or more, your dues for the year will be covered — a small token of thanks for your incredible support.
Help Us Keep Our Winning Streak Alive: Your generosity will directly impact our ability to compete and keep the Bearkat Rugby legacy alive. We are so proud of what our team has accomplished so far, and with your help, we can make history by claiming a national championship.
Please consider making a donation today and join us in supporting these young men as they represent Sam Houston State on the national stage. Every contribution — no matter the size — will help us reach our goal.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support of Sam Houston State Rugby. We couldn’t do this without you!
Go Bearkats!
With gratitude,
The Sam Houston State Men's Rugby Team
Bearkat Rugby Alumni Association
