Team Recognition Banquet – Sunday, January 29, at 1 pm
A Marauder football tradition dating to the 1980s, the annual awards banquet celebrates and honors the team for their efforts and commitment during the previous season. Scheduled for Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 1:00 p.m., the banquet is held on campus at Gordinier Hall’s Lehr Dining Room. In recent years, the Gene Carpenter Football Foundation has served as the primary host sponsor for the banquet. However, individuals and businesses are welcome to sponsor tables to provide additional support for the Marauder gridiron program. Team members and their families, alumni, coaches and supporters of Millersville football are invited. All banquet proceeds support the Foundation’s scholarship fund.
Foundation Tailgate Event
RSVP for this event
The Gene Carpenter Football Foundation’s annual tailgate event is a great way to renew acquaintances with teammates, coaches and other MU football patrons, and also meet new friends. The tailgate is a “family-friendly” event — all MU football alumni and their families are cordially invited! Held in a location adjacent to Chryst Field at Biemesderfer Stadium (101 N. George Street., Millersville, PA 17551), it is scheduled in September or October prior to a Marauder evening home game or following a ‘Ville gridiron afternoon contest. Food and beverages are provided. All tailgate proceeds benefit the Foundation’s scholarship fund. So join in the fun, share stories with former teammates and coaches, enjoy great food and refreshments, cheer on your Marauders and support the Foundation at this popular function.
Phonathon
RSVP for this event
The Gene A Carpenter Foundation Phonathon is a fund raising activity and a “stay in touch” event that is held each year as close to the first two weeks in April as possible. We generally call Sunday through Thursday evenings between 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM. GAC Foundation members, as well as the current MU football staff, spend an evening making calls to their teammates. We try to match the years of the players and the callers so that they have some common bond. In many cases, it is a great opportunity to renew old friendships and develop new ones. Additionally, the Phonathon is a means of communication to remind people about our other activities. We are pleased that Millersville University provides both the phones and the calling site on campus.
The Phonathon is an important fund raising activity for the GAC Foundation which requires no overhead. In the past few years our phonathon has helped us significantly in our efforts to raise scholarship dollars for the MU football program. It has provided between 30%-40% of our funding.
If you would like to volunteer to be a caller, please respond on our website on the “Contact” page.
