1 THE GEORGIA 2015 Priority Seating Brochure BASEBALL FUND

2 Message from Coach Stricklin Bulldog Nation, With the renovations to Foley Field and the establishment of the Georgia Baseball Fund (GBF), our program is making significant progress. Georgia Baseball has been fortunate to be well supported by season ticket holders in the past, and we are looking forward to increased support through the GBF. Our student-athletes are making us all proud with the way they compete on the field in the SEC and off the field in the University of Georgia classroom. We are all working very hard to make this program into the national contender we all want to see. Your support can and will make a difference! WHAT IS THE GEORGIA BASEBALL FUND? The newly established Georgia Baseball Fund (GBF) is the opportunity for UGA Athletics donors to provide significant annual impact to Georgia Baseball. An annual gift to the GBF provides benefits such as membership in The Georgia Bulldog Club, opportunities for renewable season tickets, priority parking and postseason priority. Being a part of the GBF will further enhance the Foley Field atmosphere, while also impacting the lives of Georgia Baseball student-athletes. Thank you for taking that next step in commitment to Georgia Baseball by donating to the GBF. Go Dawgs! 1
