Rewards Program

Everyone is a Recruiter

Purpose: In these tough economic times, the role of the MGN and the expansion of its membership has become paramount for the financial sustainability of the football program. Each member of the MGN is a potential recruiter of new members. The financial assistance of the MGN membership is greatly appreciated and necessary, but its volunteers play a tremendous role in the success of the program as well. This effort seeks to reward that volunteer role while promoting the growth of MGN memberships.

Method: This program will run from the beginning of the membership year (January 2009) until the kickoff celebration to start the season (August 2009). Those eligible must be current MGN members, and refer a new member. Reminding someone to renew their membership does not qualify for the rewards. The online membership application, along with any brochures or flyers to sign up has a space to place the person who referred them. The rewards will work as any other rewards program with point values being assigned to various prizes. Once someone has reached that particular point value, they will receive all of the prizes that coincide up to and including that point value. The more someone brings in, the more they climb up the prize ladder, and the more prizes they receive.

  • A new silver member referred is equal to one point
  • A business level member referred is equal to five points
  • A new gold member referred is equal to 12 points

At the end of each month a tally will be made, and the prizes will be distributed. The prizes are as follows:

  • 1 point: Rally at the Alley T-shirt
  • 3 points: Terps Summer Camp Under Armour Practice T-Shirt
  • 6 points: Ralph Friedgen Invitational Gear
  • 10 points: MGN Under Armour Polo Shirt
  • 12 points: 2 tickets to the Maryland vs. JMU game in September
  • 15 points: 2 sideline passes to the Maryland vs. JMU game in September
  • 24 points: 2 passes to the MGN Suite (with parking) at the Maryland vs. JMU game in September
  • 28 points : MGN Gold Gift
  • 36+ points: Special Experiential Gift

All points will be erased at the start of the 2009 football season, and new prizes will be available starting in January of 2010.
