I know Spencer Percy of the Spider Club spoke with many of you about this campaign in the lots at the Spring Game on Saturday. For those of you that don't know, this is a grassroots effort to get the football facilities in the Robins Center completed- locker rooms, sports medicine, coaches offices, etc.
MOVE THE CHAINS initially started with a goal of $250k in commitments (over 5 year period) to get football coaches offices completed. The response has been really, really good and now we are just $500k short of completing the entire project, highlighted by C and D here:

The purpose of the program is not to replace your existing Spider Club Annual Fund donations, rather to give a little bit more to get this work done, keep our Spiders in the national conversation for FCS football and make Dan Rocco eat crow.
If you can pitch in, please reach out to Spencer to make a pledge. The response to this has blown me away, thus far. This would send an important message about the value of football and athletics at UR to our coaches, to the President, the Board and to the rest of the CAA.
Here is Spencer's contact information. When you reach out to Spencer, please refence MOVE THE CHAINS.
