Special Offer: Free Tix to JMU vs. ODU
Let’s get right to the point here. The fine folks at the Duke Club have been doing a tremendous job fundraising for JMU athletics. And they’ve extended a special offer to readers of this blog. They have agreed to raffle off 4 chair back seats and a parking pass for the JMU vs ODU game on November 17. All you need to do is join the Duke Club by making a $50 donation (or more obviously) and listing “JMUSB” as your referrer. Everyone who does that will be entered into a raffle for the tickets and the parking pass. And since many of you are already members, you can be entered into the raffle by recruiting someone new. Just get them to join and list your name in addition to JMUSB for the referrers. That’s it. There will be nobody else entered into this raffle, so chances are the odds of winning the tickets will be pretty good. And four tickets prime seats plus a parking pass to one of the most anticipated football games in a long time, is a pretty great prize.
So please sign up and donate some of your hard earned money to support JMU athletics. Donations are tax-deductible and they’ll go to support the 435 JMU student-athletes who give their all for you, me, and every other JMU fan. Last year’s Duke Dog Pride campaign raised almost $2 million and increased Duke Club membership to over 3,200 supporters. But more support is always needed. It’s very simple. Click. Donate. Win great tickets to see the Dukes beat the Monarchs.
So I donated yesterday, and got a call today from JMU. They asked me about the referral, saying they had gotten a few referrals in the past couple days for “JMUSB” and had no idea what it meant. I told them what it stood for, and about the contest. She said she was in charge of the Duke club and had never heard of this.
Not saying anyone’s lying here, I’m just looking for some clarification. Worst case scenario I donated $50 to JMU, so I’m not that miffed about the money, just curious what’s really going on here.
Wow. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. I’ll email our POC down there who pitched the idea to us. I’m sure it’s just a mix-up. We’ve got everything in writing.
We contacted the folks from the Duke Club and this was just a simple mix-up. They’ve tracked everyone who signed up and listed JMUSB as the referrer and entered them into the raffle for the tix.
