The R Big Ten Build campaign is halfway to its goal to raise $100 million for athletics facilities.
R Big Ten Build, the targeted campaign to raise $100 million to build or upgrade athletic facilities at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, has already eclipsed $50 million since its unveiling in January. There have been 10 donations of more than $1 million and three gifts, representing the largest in Rutgers athletics history, that together exceed $11 million.
The gifts came from Greg Brown LC’82, the chair of the Rutgers Board of Governors and CEO of Motorola Solutions, and his wife, Anna; Steven Plofker LC’78, NLAW’93, a real estate developer, and his wife, Bobbi Brown, owner of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics; and Jeff and Amy Towers, business leaders and philanthropists.
“This generous support will help meet critical needs for our student-athletes to successfully compete in the nation’s premier academic and athletic conference,” says Patrick E. Hobbs, the director of athletics. “We are very grateful to all those who have contributed, especially Greg and Anna Brown, Steven Plofker and Bobbi Brown, and Jeff and Amy Towers, for their unwavering belief in our mission.”
