Donation/Memorabilia Request Policy
East Texas A&M University Athletics is pleased to assist charitable organizations that improve the quality of life of our fans in and around Northeast Texas. We receive many requests for donations each year and wish it was possible to honor all requests because most are very worthwhile causes. Due to the volume of requests received and NCAA rules, East Texas A&M Athletics has established the following set of policies and procedures for ticket donations and autograph requests.
Donation Requests
- Any donations honored will be limited to tickets to our ticketed sporting events (football, men's basketball, soccer, softball, women's basketball, and volleyball.)
- Due to NCAA regulations, we are unable to fulfill requests that would benefit prospective student-athletess or their families. Generally, a PSA is someone in grades 9-12 but includes other students as well. Proceeds or actual items may NOT be provided to a high school, preparatory school, or two-year college for any reason. This includes any elementary and middle schools that are financially tied and/or associated with a high school.
- Donations will be limited to auction and/or raffle activities designated to raise funds for organizations with 501(c)(3) status, critically ill/injured children and/or adults, or educational institutions that do not contain prospective student-athletes. Requests for door prizes, business award/incentive programs, or requests for individual or private use will be declined. East Texas A&M athletics reserves the right to refuse any request.
- All monies derived from a promotional activity must go directly to the institution or charitable agency.
- Completion of the request form does not guarantee that the request will be fulfilled.
- All requests must be submitted at least two (2) weeks prior to the event to be considered.
- Donations are limited based on availability. Donated tickets shall not be sold, auctioned, or traded at any other event other than the original event without the consent of East Texas A&M Athletics.
- A copy of the flyer or brochure for the event must also accompany the request. You must submit a copy of the brochure/flyer to Dale Brown and Nathan Jester by email at Dale.Brown@tamuc.edu and Nathan.Jester@tamuc.edu. Failure to submit a copy of the flyer or brochure will result in your request not being fulfilled.
- In an attempt to help the greatest number of organizations, requests are limited to (1) one request per organization within a 12-month period.
- Monetary donations and sponsorship requests will not be considered or granted.
Autograph Requests
- Currently, autograph requests for coaches will be considered only if the requesting party provides the item to be donated (e.g. basketball, football) and the requesting party handles any and all arrangements for shipping where applicable.
- Requests for student-athlete autographs shall not be granted. Student-athlete autographs may be obtained at fan days and after approved competitions.
