Let's Go Red
Supporting Our Student Athletes

Your support of Let’s Go Red! ensures that current and future generations of students continue to receive the opportunity to balance the rigors of academics with collegiate athletics.

Participation in intercollegiate athletics is a vital part of the student experience. In addition to contributing to overall student development, athletics play an important role in building campus spirit, school pride, and personal growth. Gifts to Let’s Go Red! help our student-athletes hone their skills and develop the characteristics that will serve them well on the playing field, in the classroom, and throughout their lives.

On Rπ Day, please consider showing your support for our student athletes by making a gift to one of our teams!

This year, the following pairings have been established to level the playing field for RPI athletics teams:
 
•    Women’s Hockey
•    Men’s Tennis

•    Men’s Golf
•    Women’s Tennis

•    Men’s Hockey
•    Women’s Basketball

•    Football

•    Men’s Basketball
•    Men’s and Women’s Track and Field

•    Men’s Lacrosse
•    Baseball

•    Field Hockey
•    Women’s Soccer

Paired teams will compete for most dollars raised and highest number of unique donors. These additional funds will be used for everything from training trips and travel, equipment, team uniforms, and much more! Thank you to Margaret and George Derrick ’67 and Trustee Dan Pickett III ’90 for supporting this challenge.
