We are running a FUNDRAISER starting now until the end of December, 2008. The goal is to collect $20,000 for our students at ISU. We can donate using federal 501(c)3 status so that all of your donations are tax deductible.

We are having this Fall 2008 fund raiser to secure funds for the ISU Foundation which will be custodian of the funds for the ISU Rugby Clubs. We will support both men's and women's teams so the funds can be distributed to each group. They will only be used for tournament entry fees, jerseys, equipment, coaching clinics, major travel, etc., and at no time will they be used for social events for either club.

The goal is to collect $20,000 for the ISU Foundation account. Use PayPal at the above link or make your check payable to:

ISU ALUMNI RUGBY

Mail to: Ray Karenas

4537 North Mozart

Chicago, IL 60625

DO NOT MAKE THE CHECK PAYABLE IN MY NAME - If you do that there is no guarantee it will go to ISU Alumni Rugby, in fact, the best I can promise in that case is I will buy bourbon and cigars and drink and smoke and talk about ISU Rugby to whoever will listen.

I will forward you the tax deductible information via email as receipt. Or use PayPal above.

No set plan or package as I don't want to deal with collecting or navigating, cash bar, they have food for sale and if you want to spend some time having a couple of cocktails, come on down. But before you do go online to donate OR bring your check to the Friday night event.

While living in Korea my buddies (YOGIS) from the Seoul Survivors play in both the Manila Ten-A-Side Tourney sponsored by the Manila Nomads and the Carlsberg Tens in Hong Kong each spring as part of the annual HongKong 7's Tournament Tour. This is a photo from Spring 1993 in Manila. I played in the '92, '93, '94 & '95 tourneys but don't remember many details. As my wife says I have selective memory loss...I just say what goes on tour stays on tour!
