Clemson has this thing they call IPTAY (I pay ten a year). The goal was to get every alum to give at least $10 to the program. They award season tix and priority seating and parking assignments to those who give the most. The point is that even a small donation creates a sense of ownership with the Alums and when you have as many alums as we have, getting $10 or more from each of them can add up. Knowlton needs to take a lesson from Dan Radakovich. https://iptaycuad.com/welcome-to-iptay/ And, there is one more brilliant thing that Clemson does when they are on the road: they get $2 bills and stamp them with the Clemson Tiger paw. Local merchants figure out real quick where money is coming from (Clemson Fans) and as a result other teams want Clemson to come play them. It's just great marketing and you'd think with a world class University we could figure out how to do some of this stuff. Happy Holidays everyone. Go Bears!

I'll give what I can... I've always wanted to donate even though Cal isn't my alma mater. I wanted to give before, but I wasn't quite well off yet. now that I'm doing a lot better I feel I can give to a team that has given me so much happiness for so many years.

Certainly a step in the right direction

Instead of sending individual small contributions to this fund at first, I'd like to galvanize a group of Cal alums to our own W4C booster fund...and then we donate that money to this fund...but only after having a voice at the table about things like marketing, administration, and the game experience.
