Wow, how'd you pull that off? You must donate a lot...?

Donors get preferntial treatment on the club level seats. It is a reward for coming out of pocket to support VCU.
Relative to what you get, the amount you need to give is not much especially compared to other schools, especially those with football teams...
Not enough fans give to the program IMO. Any benefits given those 700 or so fans is deserved....
Hate to say it but it is how it works.
4RunningRam said:No, I know. I was kidding with XJohnX. But you're right, not enough folks who are involved give as they could/should. There are a lot of folks who piggyback on connections, etc but never come out of pocket on their own volition.
We agree here, Major Ram. If football is ever a dream of the athletic program to be realized, imagine how much more we'd need. We're not even in the top tier of our league in giving, as is.

Maybe some new incentives could help recruit new RAF members? For example, maybe instead of the difference between $500+ and $1000+ donor levels being basically a media guide and a parking pass (correct?) add some more incentives. Maybe have discount incentives? Say you give $500-999, then you get 5% off of VCU gear at the bookstore. If you give $1000+, you get 10% off of VCU gear at the bookstore. These are just thoughts, not sure if they are practical or not but you would think so, right? Or maybe just throw in some of that gear with the different levels. It would not only give people something for giving, but it would also encourage people to wear black and gold to games. I'm sure a lot of the older donors don't always have something VCU to wear to the game. I'd like to see more people give to the AD as well, but there is only so much you can do. Some people want to receive something in return.
4RunningRam said:Some very good points here. Right now, for what is given by donors at say...the $500-$1,000 level...the return, as far as incentives/perks, is nowhere near of equal value.

I mean, I give what I can. I was just throwing out ideas to maybe encourage more people to donate. Once I win the lottery one of these days, I will become a Battering Ram (?). And you can quote me on that!

4RunningRam said:Something else to consider is that there's almost no incentive to increase one's donation from $500 to $1,000.00. For that extra 500 hundred, you get a parking decal, valid at only the Bowe St deck..and that's it.
