We will once again be sponsoring a guest athlete program at this year’s tailgates. Saturday’s guests will be the three Onondaga County natives on our National Championship Men’s Soccer Team, Jeorgio Kocevski and the Pagano brothers Francesco and Nino. I spoke with Francesco after the game and they are excited by the opportunity and looking forward to meeting all of you. Please take the opportunity to say hello and express your support. Future guests will represent both lacrosse and basketball teams.Each of our guests receives a $500 appearance fee from the SyraCRUZ NIL fund with one higher payment being offered to a special guest to be announced later in the season.
We have a policy that we ask our guests NOT to spend time signing merchandise that tailgate attendees bring with them. That will pre-sign 8x10 color photos that are available for sale at the merchandise table for $10 with half of the proceeds going directly to the athlete. If you ask our guests to sign something else and they decline, don’t blame them. Blame me.
Finally, we are making a slight revision to our 50-50 program. It will now be a 50-40-10 with 50% going to the winner, 40% going to the Fine Mess Equipment and Philanthropy Fund and 10% going to the Coach’s discretionary fund for the sport our guests participate in. Saturday’s contribution will go to Coach McIntyre’s fund and we will ask that it be earmarked to jump start a grass roots campaign for a new scoreboard for the soccer stadium. And a special treat! Everyone who buys a 50-50 ticket will receive complimentary FREE admission to all remaining regular season home soccer games!
