After accepting the Sun Belt invite and announcing an FBS move, the Yosef Club raised over $600,000 in April. Very encouraging news.

Good and bad at the same time. Kind of disappointing when you think back to ODU saying they raised 3.5 million within two weeks of announcing they were going FBS last year. However, remember they thought about it for about a month. The 3.5 million may have been some donors or corporations saying make the FBS decision and we will do such and such.
Still good though.

That is what it was for ODU. While they were weighing the decision, they had some of their big donors commit to donating the funds to make the move.

Does App have any big donors or do you guys mostly rely on a lot of donations from average people?

App has a couple dozen donors that give $10k+, about 600 that give between $2,500 and $5,000, another 600 at the $1,000 level, the remaining 1,800 members give $500 and below. I'd really like to see us grow the smaller donation levels and have 6,000 members.

Wow I give a grand a year ... thought that was a low amount. I have always we said we need something like the IPTAY program. I for sure thought we had more people give higher amounts than that.

Maybe this will change. I don't care where I have to park as long as I can see some football!!!

I agree, I have always thought that if we could just get almost everyone to give even a very small amount each year that they would contribute much more in years that they could.
