2011 MAC Annual Giving Brochure

I GET...

[ season tickets ] To be eligible to purchase season tickets in the priority seating areas, patrons are encouraged to join the Mountaineer Athletic Club as early as possible. All MAC members will receive a season ticket application for each respective sport at a designated time or, following receipt of their MAC donation.

Season ticket seating locations are assigned after the season ticket order deadline has passed, based on the following criteria:

Availability All seats are subject to availability. A contribution to the Mountaineer Athletic Club, at any level, does not guarantee you will receive season tickets. Once all renewal orders are processed, new MAC members will be assigned the best available seats based on their donation level, in order, from highest to lowest.

Annual Contribution As a first time contributor we encourage you to make a gift you are comfortable making. All numbered seating sections in Milan Puskar Stadium are assigned a required “per seat” contribution, which at a minimum, a new season ticket holder would be required to make. However, making this “per seat” contribution does not guarantee you will receive seat locations in those designated sections. Seating in the Coliseum will be assign based on your total annual giving and membership level. A contribution to the Mountaineer Athletic Club, at any level, does not guarantee you will receive season tickets.

Once all renewal orders are processed, new MAC members will be assigned the best available seats based on their donation level, in order, from highest to lowest. If demand exceeds availability in designated sections, seat locations will be assigned in the next best section available.

[ Parking ] Parking in the general area of the stadium or coliseum is sold on a season basis and requires a color-coded permit, which matches the designated areas. Parking permits are available on a limited basis to season ticket holders who are MAC members. Parking will be allocated and assigned based on MAC priority guidelines and are purchased through the Mountaineer Ticket Office. A parking order form will be included with each season ticket application.

For more information on acquiring season tickets or parking, please contact the Mountaineer Athletic Club at (800) 4332072 or MAC@mail.wvu.edu. More information can be found at MountaineerAthleticClub.com.

[ give 110% ] Whether it’s in the classroom or on the playing field, Mountaineer student-athletes always give 110%. You have the opportunity to do the same. Current Mountaineer Athletic Club members who contribute 110% of their annual gift from the previous year (totaling a minimum of $30) will receive a special gift.

Example: You previously contributed $500 to MAC. Donating $550 this year to MAC ($50 increase) will make you eligible for your special 110% premium.

Last year, over 650 members responded to the “Give 110%” campaign.

The result was over $600,000 in new funding to support the intercollegiate athletic program. If each member gave 110%, it would result in more than $1 million in additional support. Please consider giving 110% of your gift from last year.

Please contact the Mountaineer Athletic Club at (304)293-2294 for additional information on how to give 110% to support the Mountaineers.

Premiums for 110% gifts are sent in June.
