2025 Adopt A Rugger Participation Form

Join us for a unique and exciting fundraising event where alumni can "adopt" a rugger! This event is designed to support the current SIU rugby clubs during Old Loads Weekend. By participating, you will have the opportunity to connect with current players and contribute to the success of our teams. 

We are hosting this event in coordination with the teams as a way for them to utilize Old Loads Weekend for fundraising. In the past, the clubs would host the Saturday night dinner but the Alumni Corporation now coordinates this event.

How It Works

  • Adopt a Rugger: For a $100 donation, you will be linked with one of our 35 ruggers (9 women and 26 men) who are up for "adoption."

  • Meet Your Rugger: The adoption includes a meet-and-greet with your rugger during Old Loads Weekend.

  • Group Adoptions: You can split the $100 donation with other alumni and be paired with a player as a group.

  • Fund Allocation: All funds raised will go directly to the respective rugby clubs, not the alumni corporation.

How to Participate

  1. Sign Up: Fill out this form with basic information so we can link you up with a player. You can put in a suggestion for a particular player but there are no guarantees. [Link to the list of ruggers up for adoption]

  2. Donate: Make your $100 donation (or split it with other alumni).

  3. Meet Your Rugger: Sometime during Old Loads Weekend, you will need to link up with your rugger and send a picture of proof to Dawn!
