Bucknell Student-Athlete Call-Athon to Begin This Evening
2/8/2010 7:00:00 AM | Bison Club
Feb. 8, 2010
Beginning this evening, Bucknell student-athletes and their coaches will be making phone calls to their supporters and alumni base as part of the department's annual Bison Club calling program. If you have already made a gift to the Bison Club or a particular varsity sports program this fiscal year (July 1, 2009-June 30, 2010) you will receive a thank you call from a student-athlete. The athletes and coaches are extremely appreciative of the gifts they receive to their program each year, and the calling program affords them an opportunity to reach out and say thank you in a very personal way.
If you have not yet made a gift to the Bison Club or a varsity sports program this year, you may receive a call from a student-athlete asking for your support at this time. While your past support has been important and appreciated, now more than ever our student-athletes need your annual gift. We realize the current economy has been challenging for everyone, but in order for Bucknell to provide a quality, competitive Division I athletics experience for our current student-athletes we need your help. Your participation is key to our success. It's not always how much one gives, but that they choose to give that really counts. While larger gifts are always needed, gifts of any size play a substantial role in the lifeblood of Bucknell's athletics program.
We hope you will enjoy the opportunity to speak with an athlete or coach, and encourage you to ask them any questions you may have about the current athletics program at Bucknell. Our student-athletes will be devoting two hours per day, three days a week, over the next three months to the calling program, and they look forward to speaking with you.
Thank you for your continued support, and GO BISON!
