In recent weeks and months, we have been moved once again by the Big Blue Nation’s passion for our great University, our athletics teams and especially by our fans' fierce support of our student-athletes, who we put first in everything we do.
In this new era of college athletics where athletes can take advantage of their name, image and likeness (NIL), the landscape is constantly shifting. We wholeheartedly embrace our athletes' ability to earn from their NIL and continue to do everything we can to empower them to succeed.
We remain committed to building and sustaining championship level programs, educating our student-athletes and competing at the highest level. Supporting our student-athletes however we can remains our top priority.
We are doing everything possible to help our athletes maximize their NIL opportunities. We are also proud of our fans and excited that so many have reached out asking what they can do to help.
We are excited to remind you of the many ways that you can contribute right now …
Collectives and organizations that accept donations for NIL activities:
Several collectives and organizations take donations for initiatives that support student-athletes.
Some of those organizations and collective initiatives include ...
[COLOR=%s]...Athlete Advantage LLC has created The 15 to allow corporations and businesses of all sizes to partner with student athletes from the University of Kentucky through a multi-year marketing/endorsement program and increase their brand connectivity with existing and their next customers. This program supports student athletes at the University of Kentucky; it is not operated by the University.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=%s]...The Charities for KY “Founders Club” is an exclusive club for founding members that support our charity in the growth phase of fundraising by contributing $1,000 or more. All donors who make this generous donation will be recognized on our website as Founders Club members. These members will also have access to exclusive events sponsored by Charities for KY and partnering charities. Founders Club members will be invited to sport specific NIL events with UK student-athletes and our Bluegrass Bourbon Night Charitable Event scheduled for February 2023. Members will also get a Founders Club recognition certificate and sticker. Please remember all donations made to our 501c3 are 100% tax deductible. Thanks for your support.
...Commonwealth Causes enhances the lives of Kentuckians by utilizing pillars of the community to generate awareness regarding how to help those in need within the community while also inspiring donations to local charities. ( One can buy raffle tickets for dinner with Crod and Key... how much goes to them?)
...The BBNIL Exchange is powered by INFLCR, which is the leading athlete brand-building and NIL business management app for elite athletic organizations.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=%s]Where is the collective part? Those three links aren't collectives...The rest of the email is about buying tshirts... Nothing about a FAN collective, just how businesses can endorse.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=%s]Am I missing something, or does Mitch just assume I am so dumb this email will appease me?[/COLOR]
