Men’s Basketball Fund (MBF) contributions provide essential support to areas vital to the continued operational health of UGA Athletics and the enrichment of the student-athlete experience.
Message from Head Coach Mike White
Dawg Nation,
Thank you for your past support of UGA Men’s Basketball and our outstanding student-athletes. I have been amazed at the generous, unwavering commitment of this community to our success as a program.
Last season was a testament to the resilience, determination, and unwavering spirit of our players, coaching staff, and fans. I, alongside my coaching staff, remain steadfast in our goal of continuing to cultivate the skills of our student-athletes while actively recruiting the next generation of young men to don the ‘G’. I believe we have a special group this season, and alongside your support, we will achieve greatness. Exciting things are in store for the future of UGA Men’s Basketball.
On the brink of the 2024-25 season, we hope you will renew your support of the Men’s Basketball Fund (MBF) and join us at Stegeman Coliseum this fall. Your contributions to the MBF allow us to equip our student-athletes with the tools necessary to excel on the court and in the classroom.
We are deeply grateful for all you do to invest in our young men and the future success of UGA Men’s Basketball.
Go Dawgs!
Mike White Head Men’s Basketball Coach
Private support is essential to the success of UGA student-athletes and the UGA Athletic Association (UGAAA). UGAAA receives no financial assistance from the state of Georgia. It is a self-funded entity, solely dependent upon self-generated revenues to operate and provide student-athlete scholarships, build world-class athletic facilities and ensure UGA’s tradition of athletic excellence continues to grow.
You can become a member of The Georgia Bulldog Club (TGBC) by donating a minimum of $75 to the Men’s Basketball Fund. In addition, there are also a variety of other ways to join/support UGA Athletics by making contributions to the William C. Hartman Fund, the Women’s Basketball Fund, the Gymnastics Excellence Fund, the Georgia Baseball Fund, the Magill Society, the Endowment Program, and via sport specific giving opportunities.
1. Make one or several contributions to the Men’s Basketball Fund (MBF) by the September 3, 2024 deadline, ensuring you meet or exceed the giving level required for access to your desired benefits and your per-seat giving requirement of $75 per seat.*
2. Submit your season ticket application and season ticket payment by the September 3, 2024 deadline via your online account.
3. You will receive information by email after the deadline (September 3, 2024) regarding how to participate in the optional online seat selection process, which will take place in early October, along with a selection appointment time. See page 7 in the 2024-25 MBF brochure for more information.
*Making the per-seat minimum contribution does not guarantee that you will have the opportunity to secure seating. Determining the priority cutoff for new season ticket acquisitions is difficult to project as it based on attrition and member demand.
The best way to increase your priority point ranking is to join the Magill Society, which awards bonus priority points for commitments of $25,000 or greater that are made payable over a 5-year period of time. Increasing your support to the Men’s Basketball Fund is also a great way to increase your priority point total and improve your ranking. Lastly, referring new TGBC and/or Magill Society members is another way to help grow the base of support towards UGA Athletics while also increasing your priority point total and ranking amongst our members.
1. Make one or several contributions to the Men’s Basketball Fund (MBF) by the September 3, 2024 deadline, ensuring you meet or exceed the giving level required for access to your desired benefits and your per-seat giving requirement of $75 per seat.
2. Submit your season ticket application and season ticket payment by the September 3, 2024 deadline via your online account. To be considered for relocation, you must select “YES” when prompted on your online season ticket application indicating whether you would like to participate in the optional online seat selection process.
3. You will receive information via email after the season ticket application deadline (September 3, 2024) regarding how to participate in the optional online seat selection process, which will take place in early October, along with a selection appointment time. See page 7 in the 2024-25 MBF brochure for more information.
All donors opted into the process will receive a selection time based on cumulative TGBC priority points. If your selection time arrives and you see seats you want to move into, you can select them at that time and drop your previous seats. If you do not see any seats you want to move into at your selection time, you can retain your same seats from the previous year.
No! If you login during your appointment time and do not see any desirable season ticket opportunities, you can exit the process or check out and maintain your seat locations from the 2023-24 season. If you previously paid for additional season tickets and do not wish to add any of the available seats, you can either receive a refund on the cost of the season tickets or have it applied towards your Men’s Basketball Fund giving level for 2024. Donations are non-refundable.
Men’s Basketball Fund members who contribute $1,500 or more and have purchased season tickets by September 3, 2024 will have the opportunity to request one complementary parking pass. Donors may renew their existing pass by making at least a $1,500 donation to the MBF and renewing their season tickets by September 3, 2024. All new parking pass allocations, and requests to relocate will be assigned based on points and availability.
In addition to impacting lives of our remarkable student-athletes, there are many benefits associated with a contribution to the Men’s Basketball Fund.
