Why did you choose JMU?Because of the golf program and
the renowned business school.

support our teams. It is great to play for the school and feel supported not only by our coaches and teammates but also by all the people that contribute to our program.”

Hometown: Fairfax, Va.Major: Masters degree in Kinesiology – Sport Leadership
Why did you choose JMU?Tradition on having a great
football program, strong academic background, beautiful location, and how close it is to home.
What are your goals for the future?
The goal that I hope to accomplish through my work is to make a difference in the lives of the people I interact with. I hope to lead the youth of this country towards making their lives a success.
To Duke Club Members: “It is a privilege to compete at the division one
level against the best talent and have the ability to attend JMU, a university with high academic standards. Being able to compete on the field and work on getting my masters has been fun and challenging. None of this would be possible without the donors of this program and I thank them all for being so gracious and supporting this university.”
Tom MartinMen’s Soccer Head Coach
“The Duke Club is the lifeblood of our athletic programs and provides endless opportunities for student-athletes to live their dream. The Duke Club’s consistent growth has enabled my program to grow as well which is essential in today’s economy. We simply could not function without the Duke Club.”

Hometown: Haymarket, Va.Major: Health Service Administration
Why did you choose JMU? The blend of excellent academics and an
outstanding baseball tradition made choosing JMU an easy decision.
What are your goals for the future? I would like to pursue a career in
baseball after college, and beyond that, a career in health service administration. I believe that playing baseball at JMU and a degree from this university will enable me to excel in both areas.
To Duke Club Members: “Being a student-athlete is a unique
experience that teaches you lessons about life on the playing field, in the classroom, and among the JMU community that will help me to succeed in life during and after college.”
Dawn Evans, JuniorBasketball
Hometown: Clarksville, Tenn.Major: Health Sciences“Playing basketball here at James Madison
has literally been a dream come true for me. Back in Clarksville, Tennessee where I grew up, I always had a great amount of support from my friends and family. The unconditional support that the Duke Club offers the student-athletes here has made Madison a home away from home for me. The generous donations they make allow us to continue our education and compete in our sport at a high level. I could not imagine myself anywhere else. I am so grateful for the amount of passion that the members of the Duke Club show every time a Madison team takes the court or walks on to
the field. Their commitment to athletics inspires each and every student-athlete to strive to
be the best they can be.”

“During my time at JMU, I felt the one thing that was missing from my college experience was a big time athletic program and corresponding culture and atmosphere . JMU is definitely heading in this direction now and by being a part of the Duke Club, and specifically by being a Duke Club Rep, I feel like I’m a part of this transformation .
If we really want to capture the opportunity of the big time athletic program that is currently happening at JMU, it’s up to alumni and fans to step up and get involved to make it happen . That’s why I’m an active financial and time contributor to the Duke Club .”

Also, if she does not send written notification to decline priority parking, the dollar values for football and men’s basketball priority parking will be excluded from the initial donation amount as well .

Do you need to give a Duke Club donation to get season tickets?
Yes . For the 2010 football season, all new season ticket orders require an annual Duke Club donation . Season ticket orders for Priority Seating require an annual contribution of at least $125 .
I make gifts to other areas in the university. Do I receive any benefits for those gifts?
Priority points are granted to all donors who make a gift to the athletic department . Duke Club benefits are granted exclusively to donors who provide gifts to the Duke Club’s general fund, which are then used to support the scholarship needs and offset the operational budget of the JMU Athletics Department . Contributions to other areas of JMU do not support athletics and therefore do not earn Priority Points or other benefits involving athletics .

“During my time at JMU, I felt the one thing that was missing from my college experience was a big time athletic program and corresponding culture and atmosphere . JMU is definitely heading in this direction now and by being a part of the Duke Club, and specifically by being a Duke Club Rep, I feel like I’m a part of this transformation .
If we really want to capture the opportunity of the big time athletic program that is currently happening at JMU, it’s up to alumni and fans to step up and get involved to make it happen . That’s why I’m an active financial and time contributor to the Duke Club .”

All benefits associated with each specific giving level are automatically accepted by the donor unless the donor submits in writing to the Duke Club any benefits he/she wants to decline . Additionally, the written declination of benefits must be received along with the donor’s first payment toward his/her annual pledge . A declination of benefits is irrevocable for the 2010 Duke Club year .Example: Sharon is a Bluestone Level Duke Club member . Benefits under Bluestone include the
opportunity to purchase as many as six (6) football priority season tickets with hospitality passes not to exceed the number of football season tickets purchased as well as priority parking . Also included is the opportunity to purchase lower level season tickets in men’s basketball with hospitality passes not to exceed the number of men’s basketball season tickets purchased as well as priority parking .
If Sharon plans to purchase only two (2) football priority season tickets WITH hospitality and only (3) three men’s basketball season tickets WITH hospitality, then she would need to send notification in writing, and at the time of payment to decline any additional hospitality to maximize her tax benefit and/or company matching policy . Otherwise, it will be an automatic assumption that Sharon will want the maximum number of tickets and hospitality passes and dollar values for all will be excluded from her actual donation when reporting for tax purposes and/or company matching . Also, if she does not send written notification to decline priority parking, the dollar values for football and men’s basketball priority parking will be excluded from the initial donation amount as well .
PLEASE NOTE ON YOuR PLEDGE/DONATION CARD (page 12) your choice regarding the number of season tickets, hospitality and priority parking provided at the respective giving level .
# Tickets____ Football Priority Season Tickets WITH-WITHOuT hospitality and WITH-WITHOuT priority parking .# Tickets____ Men’s Basketball Season Tickets WITH-WITHOuT hospitality and WITH-WITHOuT priority parking .Appropriate benefit values are deducted from your donation amount after the 80/20 rule has been calculated .
Decline All BenefitsThere is also an area on the pledge/donation card where you may indicate that you wish to decline ALL benefits associated with your donation,
including ticket and parking priority based on Duke Club ranking . Declining ALL benefits makes your donation to the Duke Club 100% tax deductible .
Company MatchThe information above is relevant to matching funds as well, explaining how the actual donation, less benefits amount, is calculated as an
appropriate requested amount for matching funds . If you want to aspire to a higher donor level through matching funds, please check the following box on your pledge/donation card . Otherwise, benefits will be awarded solely on your personal pledge, and matching dollars will have no impact on donor level or benefits received .
Please consider my expected company match + my personal pledge combined for donor level . I will pay by December 31, 2010, any and all balances expected/pledged .
Note: “Personal” pledge refers to your individual pledge, excluding any expected matching monies.
When a donor is eligible and wants to apply for matching funds through a company, the donor typically submits a company match form to the Duke Club with each payment he/she wants matched . Restrictions and rules specific to each matching company apply .
