where did this come from?

April 1st.

I noticed the date too and I am hoping it isn’t a joke. I don’t see coach Plough making this a joke though.

Anyone planning on going?

I’be been going monthly since Plough started. It’s a really fun lunch, allows you to get to know the coach and interact with a bunch of Aggie “regulars.”
It started out as just a few of us having coffee and donuts in the Bruce Edwards room with coach then it evolved into lunch at Froggys. As more people started joining, they had to move it to Sudwurks. Now, there’s lots of new faces with a packed room!

He will at last share the Connors news

^ this 100%

anyone at the lunch? what was the news?

I want to know too! It is likely just the Conner brothers are staying plus us opting in the house settlement, plus goals to advance program (hint FBS/MW).

Can't say but, it's great news involving players we love. No FBS moves.

why can’t you say? It was literally a public and widely advertised event? Some of us don’t live in Davis and couldn’t make it.

There was a comment regarding not going public with this announcement until a certain date. They made a point of saying it was off the record.
Importantly, they need 350 donors to donate any amount on give day which is 4/17 i believe. Apparently the head count is important to open up a larger gift. Donate something, even just lunch money :).

You can donate now. No need to wait.

yes you can donate anonymously. I just donated. I hope they advertise this well. A thread should be made for this

Yes! They need to advertise this as much as possible, as soon as possible. Don't wait until a day before.

Cal social media team has been on it. Obviously due to Tosh Lupoi and increased budget. Davis needs to up their social media game as well.

Give Day is officially April 17-18, so this is the early period - they’ll make the big push closer to that day. I’m guessing they’ll make it easy to donate at the Spring Game.

There’s a big gift ($250k) that gets unlocked with the 350 donors AgAlum mentioned. There are several other lesser ones that open up as the numbers grow. As others mention, the amount doesn’t matter (give $25!), just the number. And you can be anonymous if you like.

We all should be giving, even if it's $20.

Thank you for sharing this. I now have it on my list to give later

Spread the word. Someone needs to get this out to every alum they know and then have them share it with 10 more. Same thing with the parents and girlfriends. 350 shouldn’t be hard with a roster of 100 or so.

FYI you can also make donations on your family members behalf ;)

I don’t understand why UC Davis Athletics or UC Davis football team doesn’t have this link posted on their Twitter or IG pages.

It's the new form of fundraising, it's called 'low key' fundraising - people sorta know where to go to donate - so they sorta donate.

i think as we get closer to Give Day(s), they will ramp things up. I haven't seen much of anything out there among the many UCD mailers/emails/socials i have access to.

Makes zero sense.

I agree 100%

Like not publicizing free student tickets to a home playoff game when we have a large student body who live locally?
