Our booster is running this fundraiser however I thought that prospectives were not allowed to raise money using their names even if it was for a non-profit/Charity. I can't find the guideline documentation on this. Does anyone know if this is permissible under NCAA eligibility rules? I mean how can they prove that it was mailed by the booster and not the athlete since they are asking the athlete to sign the letter?
"1) We would like each child to bring in 10 names & addresses of family, friends, favorite businesses.
2) Once we have collected addresses, the children will address & sign a letter to each person/place (we will provide the letters, envelopes, etc)-during or around workout time.
3) Boosters will mail the letters and wait for the donations to come rolling in!!!
This style fundraiser is the same used by many collegiate athletics departments, and is often their biggest resource for financial support!!!
Please join us and send 10 addresses with your child(ren) to gym.
(**Please keep in mind that writing letters on your own to friends/family to raise funds is against NCAA regulations**)"
