GUIDELINES
At Texas Tech Athletics, we are committed to leaving a lasting legacy and giving back to the community that supports our Student-Athletes. Our mission statement guides our charitable giving:

“To Educate, Serve and Grow Fearless Champions”

As much as we would like to service as many organizations as possible, due to the high demand of requests and NCAA rules, we simply cannot support every worthy cause. In order for us to serve as many donation and autograph requests as possible, requests must comply with the guidelines set forth below.

**Please remember that requests are not guarantees.

GUIDELINES:

•Ticket requests are limited to non-conference home men's & women's basketball, softball, baseball, and volleyball games at this time.

•Requests for items autographed by student-athletes will not be honored.

•Requests for items autographed by a coach may be considered, but fees will apply.

•Requests for donations to online auctions and any event involving gambling (i.e. Casino Night) will not be honored.

•All athletic department donation requests must be submitted through the online donation request system and must be received at least six (6) weeks prior to the date your item is needed.

•To assist as many as possible, an organization is eligible to receive only one donated item per event, and two items per calendar year.

•Organizations which receive an item are encouraged to complete an online reply form after the event that provides the amount the item raised.

•Texas Tech Athletics will not provide any form of authentication for autographed items.

•We are unable to fulfill "personal" request items.

•Texas Tech Athletics will only consider requests from organizations affiliated with the state of Texas, specifically:

-Established 501(c)(3) charitable entities (Proof of 501c3 nonprofit status may be required.)

-Sports Teams or Leagues that Include Participants in Grades 9-12.

-Scholarship Funds and/or Organizations Donating to Scholarship Funds.

•A Texas Tech student-athlete's name, picture or appearance may only be used in a promotional activity involving one of the following entities: a member institution (including fraternity, sorority or student government organizations), a member conference or a non-institutional charitable, educational or non-profit agency.

•The student-athlete must receive prior approval from the Texas Tech Compliance Office to participate in the listed event.
