ATHENS, Ga. --- Join the Georgia Bulldogs as they embark on another exciting basketball season in 2009-10.  The best way fans can show their allegiance is through the Basketball Enhancement Fund (BEF), whose patrons annually stake their claim to the most coveted seats in Stegeman Coliseum.

A donation to BEF is the best way to secure and retain UGA Men’s Basketball priority seating. Upon annual renewal, priority seating enables you to retain your same location or request relocation.

“The Basketball Enhancement Fund is a great way that all Bulldog fans can show their tangible support for our program,” said first-year Georgia head coach Mark Fox.  “Not only can you help our program, but you can also get the best seats in Stegeman Coliseum.  We feel like that, in itself, will have a tremendous value in the coming seasons.”

As a contributor to BEF, your support enables the Athletic Association to provide student-athletes with the resources necessary to excel, making you a vital member of the team.  While the Coliseum Training Facility is home to Men’s and Women’s Basketball and Gymnastics, over 600 student-athletes benefit from its construction. Not only does it provide our current student-athletes a first-class training venue, but it draws recruits to our campus. Your contribution to BEF will help the Athletic Association fund the Training Facility’s $30 million bond.

If you would like to renew your permanent season tickets seats or to become a first-time renewable season ticket holder, please make a $150 per seat annual donation by the August 15th deadline. You may donate online by logging on with your email address/account number and password.

Contributors may also send checks, use their company’s matching gifts program or transfer stocks to The Georgia Bulldog Club. For more information please contact The Georgia Bulldog Club toll free at 877-GA-DAWGS or: gadawgs@sports.uga.edu.
