John Ward is well known for his exuberant phrase "It's Football
Time In Tennessee" well, it's now "Donation Time in Tennessee", as current
and new donors have until to donate
to the VASF and nail down their seats in Neyland Stadium next Fall, in
time to see the reigning National and SEC Champions defend our titles.
The VASF is a University of Tennessee
support organization consisting of donors to the intercollegiate athletic
program. There are several levels of membership based on the amount contributed
on an annual basis. The funds raised are used to provide scholarships
for student-athletics, as well as assist in the maintenance and improvement
of Tennessee varsity athletic facilities.
Why is money needed you ask? The University of Tennessee
is committed to a first class athletic program, but the price is high.
That's where you the donor come in! Your donations, which are 80% tax
deductible (consult your tax advisor), are
used for: Scholarship costs, Equipment, uniforms, salaries, maintenance
and everything else involved in making The University of Tennessee first
class.
