Join A Committee

The fundraising committee is responsible for strategically planning and executing campaigns or events—such as galas, auctions, crowdfunding, or direct solicitations—to generate financial support for the organization's programs and goals.

The scholarship committee is composed of representatives from academic departments, financial aid or student support offices, and occasionally external stakeholders like donors, ensuring decisions are well-balanced and fair. Our role is to review applications, evaluate candidates against predetermined criteria, decide recipient selections, and uphold transparency and compliance throughout the process.

The Hall of Fame committee typically consists of a select group of experts—such as former players, coaches, media members, executives, and alumni representatives—whose makeup ensures diverse perspectives and domain knowledge.

The committee role is to vet nominations, score applicants (often on leadership, impact, innovation, and community involvement), deliberate to determine finalists, and ultimately vote to select the 40 most deserving individuals.

The special events committee focuses on areas like logistics (venue, permits, catering, AV, décor), fundraising/sponsorships, publicity, volunteer coordination, guest experience, and entertainment—ensuring every detail from planning through execution is handled effectively. It brings together board/staff members, donors, and skilled volunteers who collaborate to create memorable and successful events that align with the organization’s mission.

The committee responsibilities include crafting and executing comprehensive marketing communications plans (encompassing social media, newsletters, web content, and press releases), managing media relations, overseeing branding consistency, evaluating campaign performance, and supporting fundraising and event promotion.
