thank you notes for donors

[Mitchell Grummon]

Everyone,

 

Please take ten minutes out of your busy summers to write a little message for donors about the season. Say whatever, "I had fun... thanks for helping out" Just do this real quick so you guys have better chance of fundraising next year. 

 

 

 

Thanks,

My name is Alberto Adame and I am a rising senior. I wanted to thank all those that helped us get to Nebraska and Virginia. It was a great experience and we knew that our hard work wouldn't get us there alone, it is great to see how much the alumni and other donors helped make our season possible. Thanks again.

[Stuart Lai]

I am so grateful for the support of each donor because they made my freshman year the absolute best it could be.  Oxy rugby introduced me to a new sport and new friends.  So once again, thank you to each and every donor for  giving the Blackshirts the opportunity to compete for a national championship.  

Sincerely,

Stuart

Dearest Donors,

As a graduate of the Occidental Rugby Football club, I wanted to thank you each individually. Unfortunately I don't have the time, nor the resources to do so. Therefore, this note will have to suffice.

Thank you very much for making my dreams come true and allowing me to visit the beautiful states of Nebraska and Virginia and kick a little ass while we were there.

Best,

Boehme

[Andrew Bariahtaris]

Dear Donors,

Thank you for all your support this season. I'm so grateful to have been a part of this program and introduced to a great bunch of guys. I look forward to 3 more years of winning and fun at Oxy. You allow us to enjoy rugby and reach our fullest potential.

Thank you,

Andrew Bariahtaris

[Zachary Hundley]

Donors,

I would like to say thank you for your help and generosity. Without you, our season/postseason would have not been possible. We appreciate all the support and honor we continue to gain from a long tradition.

Viva Blackshirts,

[Brandon Ahlo]

Aloha Donors,

Thank you for everything that each of you individually contributed. Without your support this magical season would never have been possible. As a graduating senior this was my most memorable year at Oxy. Rugby has allowed me to build a bond and friendship with my teammates that I have not found or been able to create in any other sport. Rugby will always hold a special place in my heart and with your support through the season and post season you have only added to the memories I will take with me as I leave Occidental College Rugby. May the Blackshirts live forever in all of your hearts.

Mahalo Nui and Aloha,

Brandon "Coconut" Ahlo

[Joel Haas]

Thanks for your time and support this past season.  I believe that with your help the team has established a new precedence for excellence both nationally and on campus.  In the coming seasons, we need to set our eyes on the same goals, if not higher goals, that we accomplished this year.  This was not just a fluke season but, rather, the beginning of a new era in Blackshirts Rugby.  Thank you.

[Anthony Avila]

Donors,

Thank you for your contributions that made our season possible. Your
support helped make rugby the highlight of my freshman year at Oxy.
You have helped create lifelong memories and friendships for all the
members of the Blackshirts. I look forward to continue playing ruby
for the rest of my stay at Oxy.

Sincerely,
Anthony Avila

[Jason Park]

To all the donors,

As one of the newcomers to Oxy Rugby this year, I thank you for making this stellar season possible. The trips to Nebraska and Virginia were amazing experiences that I will not soon forget. Rugby is an amazing sport which I look forward to playing till I'm dead. Please continue your support of the Blackshirts!

Best,

Jason Park

[Schuyler Ross]

My name is Schuyler Ross, I'm a rising senior now and this was my first year playing Rugby. I would like to thanks all the donors that made my rugby experience what it was. Being able to represent Oxy and let the nation know what the blackshirts are all about is something I will never forget. All I can say is keep this rag tag team of witty brawlers near and dear to your hearts because we will definitely be back to nationals next season! Thank you all again.

Cordially,

Schuyler Ross

Dear Donors

As a graduating senior member of the Occidental College Rugby Football Club, I would like to thank you for your support! First for you financial support, without which our postseason run would have been very difficult. Second, and more importantly, thank you for the foundation you've laid for this club. Whether you are a Blackshirt alum or a loved one, you have helped our club reach a place that four years ago I did not think was possible. You have given this team the opportunity and extra drive to reach for the highest potential, and for that I thank you. I hope you will continue the support of this club, as I believe the best is yet to come.

Thank you for making my senior year so memorable,

Drew Hanson

Sincerely,
