Donating Tickets for an NYC FC Game
Donation protected
THIS CAMPAIGN IS ALL OR NOTHING! IF WE DO NOT MEET THE GOAL, THE FUNDS WILL BE REFUNDED.
On August 29th 2015, the New York City Football Club will play the Columbus Crew in Yankee Stadium. For this game, NYC is running a special promotion to benefit those who serve in the military and their families.
The Promotion: If you donate 20+ tickets to the troops through NYC FC, the club will match that number. In return for the donation, we will receive two Delta Skybox tickets to that game, which I would like to donate to a supporter who served, or is currently serving, in the military.
The Mission: As a member of the Third Rail, and someone who embraces all of the growing supporter groups, I would like to begin pooling some funds together so we can buy as many tickets as we can to donate.
One of the responsiblities we have as supporters is to give back to our community, and this is a very easy way to do so!
Where are these tickets going?
The front office is partnering this the Veteran Tickets Foundation (http://www.vettix.org/) for this promotion. So, all tickets that we purchase through the front office will ultimately go there. They seem like great organization.
Why is the goal set so high?
After service fees and taxes, 20 tickets will cost us $700. Unfortunately, GoFundMe.com takes a 7.9% processing fee PLUS $0.30 from each donation. See more here.
In order to have $700 in hand, we will need to raise $775 in total.
The Processing Fee:
--> $700 * 7.9% = $55.30
$0.30 Donation Fee (Assuming average donation is $10):
--> ($755.30 / $10) * $0.30 = $22.66
In total:
$700 + $55.30 + 22.66 = $777.96
While the fees are not great, this will keep everthing organized and transparent.
Speaking of which, how will you keep everything transparent?
All statements and receipts from GoFundMe, from the club, and my personal debit or credit card will be posted publicly on the Third Rail forum and the "official-unofficial" Facebook page. If anyone has any questions or concerns they can always contact me by email.
One final note!
When you donate please include either your Third Rail Chapter or the name of your supporter group if you're not Third Rail so we can give all the credit where it is due.
