EAST LANSING, Mich. - Join the Spartan Fund in an all-out Blitz to grow its membership. For as little as a $100, Spartan fans can become Spartan Fund members. Spartan Fund members are key investors in Spartan Athletics.
"Monies generated through annual Spartan Fund membership are vital to our athletics program," said MSU Athletics Director Mark Hollis.
"Spartan Fund members generate more than a quarter of our Athletics budget each year'" said Hollis. "I can't over-emphasize the importance of membership and hope that all Spartan fans will consider becoming a member today."
Spartan Fund membership is tax-deductible and membership does have its privileges. Benefits vary according to membership level. Examples of benefits include priority parking and ticketing to away games and postseason play.
"Annual support is essential to all athletic programs across the Big Ten," said Chuck Sleeper, Sr. Associate Athletics Director & Director of Development.
"This year we are pleased to have nearly 7,000 Spartan Fund members; however, we know we can grow that number. When comparing our membership numbers to other athletic programs in the Big Ten, we are ranked seventh. We want to improve that rank and ask that Spartan fans make this important investment."
The Spartan Fund Membership Blitz will run throughout the fall. Spartan fans joining the Spartan Fund will receive a free t-shirt and will be included in numerous drawings for pre-game and side-line passes, complimentary parking passes, and football tickets.
To join the Spartan Fund, call our Blitz Hotline at 517/884-3546 and receive your free t-shirt.
