Rick George fundraising update

So going public with your inability to raise funds for a fund raising goal that needs to be completed in 1 month, which you haven't even started "officially" fund raising for is a good idea?
The question is, is that the story coming from the AD, or is it Ringo's angle?
It seems to me that there is almost never anything positive in the media about CU, and it seems that the Camera has gotten worse since they were absorbed by the Post's ownership group.
I think the bigger problem with the Camera is that we've lost some great people like Woelk and Thorburn.
this is what was said:
I am not sure how you got to where you are right now from that answer to a direct question. I am sure he'd give you the same answer if he had 48 of the 50 million banked.
You make a good point. I guess I'm just surprised that we haven't heard a peep on this massive fund raising effort, when many here would be willing to donate in some capacity.
Still concerned they are focusing all their energy on those who've donated big (as in CU big, not really big) before, and missing out on those who should have donated big before....
Is it culturally uncool to donate to the AD if you are a rich dude living in Boulder?

your current customers are easier to sell to than acquiring new ones. Given the short time on the job and that donors with of a lifetime giving history of 10K+ number near 400 what would you have him do?
I can see it now - ticket takers would have a cross sell quota to fill. Instead of hearing "thank you, enjoy the game", we would be treated to "I see you are a season ticket holder for football, have you ever considered purchasing women's volleyball season tickets?" The ushers would, similarly, have quotas to meet. Instead of "your seats are right here", we would get, "I see you are in section 120. I think your enjoyment of the game would be greatly increased by upgrading to club level seats. Can I make that upgrade for you now?" CU would turn over the entire staff within six months.
His 90 days are up tomorrow, just for anyone wondering. We should be hearing some news this week I hope.

an email I received in case others have had problems donating through cubuffs.com:
Thank you so much for your email and for your desire to support the Buffs. All of your observations and critiques regarding our website and online giving interface are accurate, or at least they were.
It just so happens that we've rolled out a new version of Buff Club DonorNet in the last 24 hours with one objective in mind - to make it easier for donors to support us. While it is not 100% complete, and there are a few bells and whistles yet to be added, I think you will find our site much easier to navigate today than it was just a few days ago.
Visit www.cubuffclub.com and click on the Donate Now link.
Once you arrive at DonorNet, follow the first option to Give Now. This will allow you to bypass the registration/account set up and make your gift immediately. Depending on your screen settings you may have to scroll to the bottom of the page to complete the process, but all of the information is there in one easy step.
We will take care of linking to any previous Athletic Department ticket/donor history on the back end. There are advantages to registering your DonorNet account in the future (i.e. the ability to manage your tickets, see your priority point total, etc...), but the important part is that you can make your gift!
Again, thank you for your patience and your support. I hope you will find this to be a great improvement and you will tell all of your friends who also have an interest in giving to CU Athletics.
All the Best & Go Buffs!

Assistant Athletic Director for Development
Looks good
I just donated as "Tante" to help his points. Works great!
waiting to hear back from a rep cause i have no idea what my number is and then making a little donation. it looks like the tide is finally turning.
That was my assumption when I made the donation.
there is an option to donate directly to facilities, excellent.
I get the feeling that the AD took the football season ticketholder surveys seriously this year.
those are the same two options that have always been there. What we need to see are 15 to 20 options and the ability to set up a recurring donation.
the last time i donated, which was when embree was canned i believe, there was no option for facilities. my b.
I like it.
