St. Bonaventure Rugby Alumni

St. Bonaventure Alumni Bond

St. Bonaventure University has long been known for the incredible bond that alumni have with the school and fellow alumni long after they graduate.  The St. Bonaventure University Rugby Alumni Association (SBURAA) strongly carries a similar bond.  With over 200 active members, our alumni continue to stay in touch with each other, the school, and the current undergraduate team. 

Every spring, alumni and undergraduates come together for the Robert Peraza Rugby Alumni Weekend.  The weekend consists of catching up with old friends and getting to know the current members of the St. Bonaventure rugby team.  Highlighting the weekend is the battle for the Gringo Cup (and subsequent bragging rights) where an Alumni Select squad faces off against the Undergraduate team.   In addition, the alumni also host a golf outing every summer where all alumni, undergraduates, friends and family members are invited, with all proceeds from the outing going towards Robert Peraza Scholarship Fund.    
           

St. Bonaventure Alumni Support

The SBURAA has a 19-member Board of Directors which helps to focus the efforts of all of our members with the purpose of giving additional assistance on top of the already strong support given from the school.  The SBURAA provides the current undergraduate team with additional equipment, travel expenses, facility planning, scholarship opportunities for prospective students, and assistance with internship and job placement for all current and graduating students.  With the vision of the board the team has a strong infrastructure in place to continue to progress with the goal of being one of the premier teams in the country.
