UNDERWRITING OPPORTUNITIES

Underwriting helps to cover the costs of Tigerfest, allowing financial gifts to go directly to increase student aid, pay for capital improvements, subsidize faculty and staff compensation, and support outreach programs.  Underwriters—both businesses and individuals--are acknowledged in the Tigerfest auction book, on signage at the auction, and in school communications such as the Annual Report and the WMA Weekly.  NOTE: Underwriters may finance all or part of a category, starting at $250.  For example, an individual might underwrite $500 of the ($6,000) Live Auction expenses.  Or, you and some friends, or an entire homeroom, might chip in together to cover a category.  Below is a list of underwriting opportunities.  Thank you for your consideration.
