Best Practices: Example #33

Club nameU of M Club of the Triangle (MTAC)
About how much money does this function/position raise for the club's scholarship fund$500 in 2001
$250 in 2002
Who provided your scholarship or student giveaway materials (silent auctions items, goodies for students, etc)?Several professional sports teams, Michigan Athletic Dept.
How many club leaders coordinate this activity?One
About how much time does it take to plan?40 hours (two days a week over two months = 16 days, about 2.5 hrs per day = 40 hrs)
What kind of an impact does this have on the students from the club's community?Provides modest scholarship funds: Given that students from our area are paying out-of-state tuition, a scholarship of $500 - $1000 is a great gesture of our support.
Is there additional information you would like to share?A few challenges:
1. Amount of effort vs. dollars brought is lagging due to difficult economic times
2. Many sports teams do not provide items for the auction due to the overwhelming number of requests they receive.
