Idaho State Athletics set to launch #Prepare2ROAR campaign

POCATELLO, Idaho- Idaho State Athletics is launching a comprehensive #Prepare2ROAR phone-a-thon campaign that will take place Monday, October 26, through Friday, November 6. The goal of the campaign is to engage current and past individual sport club donors as well as former student-athletes.
 
During these uncertain times which have included budget cuts across the board, support from alumni, donors, and the community is critical as it helps every Bengal team continue to train and prepare for competition.
 
#Prepare2ROAR will focus on fundraising for Idaho State's nine individual sport clubs (listed below), the Champions Fund, and the Football Alumni Team Scholarship Endowment.
 
Individual Sport Clubs
Men's Basketball - Cage Club
Women's Basketball - Fast Break Club
Football - Quarterback Club
Golf - Caddie Club
Soccer - Keeper Club
Softball - On Deck Circle
Tennis - Ace Club
Track & Field - Winged Foot Club
Volleyball - Match Point Club
 
"This campaign is more than a call to action," said Associate Athletic Director for Development Joel Moersch. "It's a statement to our student-athletes that the entire Bengal community has their back especially during these challenging times."
 
The campaign will have ten team captains consisting of coaches, alumni, and staff that will be leading their team of callers to solicit gifts in support of all things Idaho State Athletics during the two-week initiative.
