Fundraiser for Beneficiary
Proceeds raised at GRUB will be donated to the Kit Faragher Foundation. The foundation was created after Kathleen “Kit” Faragher’s life was unexpectedly cut short by the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Kit was a long time friend to the Colorado ultimate community. Her family, friends, and employer wanted to remember Kit in a positive way by providing scholarships to deserving Colorado high school students. The foundation targets students who are in need of financial assistance for college, and who also capture Kit’s essence by demonstrating a positive attitude, strong commitment, and a drive towards accomplishment. For more information visit: http://www.kitfaragherfoundation.org.
We raise the money from the team entry fees AND pledges from your friends, families and coworkers. Prizes will be given for the highest total pledge amount collected by an individual and team. Please help support this local and worthy cause.
As an incentive for you to raise pledges above the entry fee we will be giving prizes to individuals who can raise the
largest donations. The top prize is a Garmin 305 GPS and Heart Rate Monitor Watch. There will also be great prizes
for the teams who can raise the most funds. In addition, anyone donating over $45 will receive a special GRUB commemorative pint glass (to be handed out at the party).
Please make your checks out to Rocky Mountain Ultimate. RMU is the 501c3 non-profit entity that does business as Grass Roots Ultimate. If a written acknowledgment of your donation is required for tax purposes, you must make your check out to Rocky Mountain Ultimate. If you have questions about the tax benefits of your tournament donation, please contact a tax professional. Please send requests for receipts to giving@rockymountainultimate.org.

Game Day Details
Welcome to the 16th Annual Grass Roots Ultimate Benefit (GRUB) Tournament. This event attracts mixed competitive teams from all
over the country. We are again playing on the City of Boulder's beautiful
Pleasant View Soccer Complex fields. Remember as in most urban centers, quality recreational spaces are sparse
and competitive adult ultimate does not get highest priority when it comes to obtaining these fields. So be mindful
of the surrounding neighbors, obey the park regulations, and use your common sense so that you do not jeopardize
GRUB and other ultimate events in years to come.
CAPTAIN'S MEETING
The captain meeting is at 8:30am on Saturday. Games start at 9:00am sharp. Due the likelihood of routine late-day rain showers in Colorado summers, please adhere to the time schedule. Click here to view the brackets.
FOOD/WATER
Plenty of bottled water, fruit, bagels, and juice will be available courtesy of our sponsors.
DINNER/PARTY
Place: Boulder Beer Pub (click here for map)
Time: 6pm
Food provided by: Wahoo's Fish Tacos 6-7pm
Music: Train Back Home ( www.trainbackhome.com)
FIELD USE
Once you've seen how green and flat these fields are, you'll realize we want to keep them for future events. Do not bring any glass bottles to the fields. Recycle bins will be available for plastic containers.
Dogs are not permitted at GRU tournament events. Really no dogs, not in
your car, not on the fields, and not in the parking lot.
Do not urinate anywhere on or near the fields. Use the provided portalets located
around the field perimeter and the restrooms at frisbee central. We make the
effort to provide sufficient and acceptable facilities for your needs. If you have
concerns about the quality of the facilities, please let the TD or other tournament
volunteer know.
Please do not practice on the Pleasant View site until the day of the
tournament. If your team is coming in from out of town, there are nice
fields at Foothills Community Park (aka Violet Fields). Here is a link to a map:
Practice Fields
Violations of these rules may result in a loss of the privilege for GRU
to use these fields, player ejection from the tournament, and/or a GRU league
suspension for the offending player, at the discretion of the tournament
director and the GRU Board of Directors.

There is no camping on the fields.
