Our RIT performance teams are coming together, and we want to feel your support during their biggest campaign yet: Fueling the Future, from November 27 to December 11. The performance teams use hands-on experiences to innovate in the fields of automotive, space exploration, electric vehicle design, and aerospace.

We invite all RIT alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends to ignite the kindling forces behind the creativity and innovation of these students and make their first united campaign launch have the biggest spark possible.

Our students immerse themselves in innovative technologies, working around the clock, and they are counting on you. Don’t let their spark be extinguished. Ignite their passion. Lead the way. Make your mark by contributing to the Fueling the Future campaign from November 27 to December 11.

Thanks to the generosity of Alan Franz ’91 and P ’27, the first team to reach their financial goal will receive a $2,500 bonus and the team with the highest number of gifts will receive a $2,500 bonus.
