NCC Gridiron Club
Dear Vanderbilt Football Supporters,
We are "All In!" The administration has made a commitment to Vanderbilt Football, our staff is committed, and our student-athletes have bought in. Now, we turn to you and ask if you are "All In!" with us?
While we have both only been a part of the Vanderbilt family for a short time, it has been exciting to see so many members of the family rally around this program. One common question that we both are often asked is what can be done to help support Vanderbilt Football. The answer is a simple one:
- Buy season tickets.
- Make an "unrestricted" annual gift to the National Commodore Club (NCC) in support of scholarships awarded to our student-athletes.
- Make a "restricted" annual gift to the NCC Gridiron Club for football.
- For those that are able, make a capital project or endowment gift.
- Include Vanderbilt Football in your estate.
- Last but not least, ask your friends to do the same!
You are obviously reading this because you are a part of the Vanderbilt Football family. Knowing that Vanderbilt holds a special place in your heart, it is our sincere hope that you will consider doing these things to help our program.
Our staffs have worked together the last few months to make the Gridiron Club more appealing. The first thing we did was change the name to the NCC Gridiron Club. The reason for this is because now anybody who makes a gift of any type to any area of Vanderbilt Athletics will be recognized as an NCC member. While you will still be required to make an “unrestricted” annual gift to the NCC in order to receive priority seating and parking, you will now receive NCC priority credit for gifts made to the NCC Gridiron Club.
Next, we added a number of new giving levels and benefits. This was done to reward those who are financially supporting the program. It is our sincere hope that you will take advantage of these opportunities, especially those where we can fellowship with each other both here on campus and on the road.
The administration, the coaches, the staff, and the players are “All In!” We hope you will join us by filling out the NCC Gridiron Club membership form. Together, we can do something very special. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Go 'Dores!
