Quote from: Jim HylaQuote from: BeeeejAs a general rule I don't like Giving Day (I'm sure I explained why on this forum at some point), but since we hadn't yet made our annual men's hockey gift for 2024-25 we just went ahead . Especially important to honor Coach Schafer's swansong.
Unfortunately schools all over are involved with a Giving Day.
Blah, blah.
I already get end of year reminders, then in January phone calls from teams that I already support and have given to.
Now this!
What's next month's pitch?
Might be easier to take if when they ask me again for money, they first thank me for already haven given and then give their pitch.
I heard that the band sends out postcards with a handwritten message.
Also, athletics does not give money to the band, so events like giving day actually are the reason why the band can be at so many hockey games.
