Rutgers alumni email
- Thread starter Jtung230
- Start date
The contact info is a rutgersfoundation.org address and that is the "surname" the foundation uses. So it seems legitimate. Other schools' alumni associations do events like this one. https://support.rutgers.edu/about-us/leadership

I just watch the movie Beekeeper and don’t want to have all of my accounts emptied out because I signed up for this.
Interesting: I'm on the RFoundation and RFund mailing list and have not received this. But maybe this is for people outside the RFund and RFoundation for them to make some extra $$$, recoup costs and reel in new donors.
"In each city we’re visiting this fall, you’ll find two great opportunities to join other fans and friends of Rutgers: an R social gathering the night before the game, followed by a game day pregame tailgate experience.
R social gatherings are an opportunity to visit a local restaurant and interact with other alumni, fans, and friends to build Rutgers connections in cities across the country.
Pregame Off the Banks Tailgates will open two hours before each game. Tickets are $20 for guests 21 and over, and $10 for guests under 21. Each tailgate includes food, drink tickets, giveaways, and more!"
Let me say from experience that the RFoundation is, IMHO, not as competent as it should be -- although I've heard it's gotten better. The mere fact that it sends out an e-mail whose legitimacy isn't obvious is revealing.
As usual, you are a true gentleman and a scholar. I have much harsher and worse feelings about RFoundation that I will not detail here. Totally incompetent and infuriating in my experience. Will never give RFoundation another single penny after our experience.
I agree with your last sentence. I wrote President Holloway about my most recent experience and never received a reply -- not even a form letter. Even the web page for making contributions works poorly.
On the other hand, RFund is top notch. It's like night and day between the two. RFund has had to "carry the water" on scholarship we endowed through RFoundation. We would be lost without our RFund people who are on top of details, always follow through, and make sure you know that you are valued and appreciated, instead of an afterthought or a nuisance.
The last two things Rfoundation sent were all for athletics. That’s why I was confused. I do split my donation 50/50 between athletics vs academics.
