History
The UGA-GT Challenge for the Spring Classic was formed in 2004. Thanks to the volunteers in this program more than $800,000 has been raised to support the purchase of an intra-operative MRI to help our neurosurgeons treat children with brain tumors.
What Do UGA-GT Challenge Volunteers Do?
UGA-GT Challenge volunteers help sell six sponsor ticket packages to the Spring Classic in the weeks leading up to the game. Sponsor ticket packages range from $100 for 12 tickets to $5,000 for a private hospitality suite. There is something to fit every budget and business. Company vendors, clients, customers, neighbors and friends are all excellent prospects for sales. As a UGA-GT Challenge volunteer, you are not asking for a donation but offering companies and individuals a chance to entertain their clients, employees and friends to a fun event while supporting the children's hospital.
All you have to do as a volunteer is help distribute the order form with the ticket packages to your contacts. A kickoff orientation lunch will be held to explain the program and help you get started. Volunteer at your own pace and work toward incentives as an individual and a corporate team. Children's will handle all of the orders and distribution of tickets. Your time commitment is minimal but your involvement will help innumerable kids being treated at Children's.
