Thursday--June 5th, 2014

UMass announces the renaming of the 100 yard club. What ever it is called, it's the primary fund raising and support group for Minutemen Football. Please join. the lowest level is $100 and you will receive:

  • Special Event Invitations
  • Minutemen auto decal
  • Minutemen Club E-newsletter
  • Priority ticket points
  • In-season Gridiron Club Newsletter
Higher levels of giving get more perks. If $100 is too rich, they'll take any donation. Even a $10 donation helps. It also supplies an important element in the culture wars. You'd be listed as a contributor;  the total number of people interested in UMass football really helps establish a constituency for UMass football. That's important.
