5 Ways You Can Help Duke Athletics

 

1. SUPPORT THE IRON DUKES ANNUAL FUND

 

The Iron Dukes is the annual fund for athletics.  We encourage all members to give to the annual fund first.  Due to the high cost of educating a Duke student, increased annual support is critical for the university to continue to offer competitive scholarship opportunities.  Click here to join the Iron Dukes. 

 

2. MAKE A GIFT TOWARD A SPECIAL PROJECT OR INITIATIVE

 

We encourage all members to give to the Iron Dukes first, but there are other ways that you can support and become involved with Duke Athletics.  These include the Football Enhancement Fund, Legacy Fund, Endowment, Varsity Club, Young Iron Dukes, Inferno, etc.

 

3. ASK IF YOUR COMPANY PARTICIPATES IN A MATCHING GIFTS PROGRAM

 

Some companies will match your gifts to Duke Athletics.  Please consult the benefits office at your place of employment to see if you are eligible for their matching gifts program.  Click here for a complete list of companies that currently match gifts to Duke Athletics.

 

4. REFER A FRIEND TO THE IRON DUKES

 

We are very excited to announce a new initiative for 2009-10:  The Iron Dukes’ New Devils Program.  The purpose of the New Devils Program is to help strengthen the foundation of the Iron Dukes by growing our membership base.  Help us increase our membership by referring at least one new member to the Iron Dukes.  Click here for more information on the New Devils Program.

 

5. REMEMBER DUKE ATHLETICS IN YOUR ESTATE PLANNING
