About The MSU Rebounders Club
|
|
The MSU Rebounders Club is the official booster club supporting the MSU men's basketball program. We work closely with Coach Izzo and his staff as well as the marketing and compliance departments to help build a program that makes MSU fans proud. We have eight luncheons scheduled during the 2009-10 season, with Coach Izzo being the featured speaker at most of them. We have an annual bus trip to the Michigan game, we sponsor the annual food drive, and help the basketball office with other events as needed. This season we have added the opportunity to purchase Rebounders clothing items to our members. Our 2009-2010 membership application is now available for download. Forms can be mailed to PO Box 333, East Lansing, MI 48826.

Food Drive Sets Record for Donations From Fans
|
|
Wow! We did it! Spartan fans contributed a record amount to our food drive at the Illinois game on January 16, 2010. Thanks to your generous donations, we collected nearly 1,500 food items and $12,000 in cash! The food banks are in great need and your contributions are a big help to them and people in our community. Thanks to Lupe Izzo, Honorary Chair, students from the MSU School of Packaging, students from the MSU Student Food Bank, and volunteers from the MSU Federal Credit Union and Rebounders for an awesome job on the annual food drive. If you would like to donate but missed the opportunity to contribute at the game, you may mail a check made out to Rebounders to PO Box 333, East Lansing, MI 48826-0333. We will forward all monies earmarked for the food drive to the food banks.

50/50 Raffle
|
|
|
The Foxes and LaPerrieres are ready for customers
|
Have you been to a home men's basketball game? If you have, you are probably familiar with the 50/50 raffle at each game which is the main fundraiser for Rebounders. Proceeds from the raffle support the basketball program, the men's basketball student managers, and the student athletic trainers who help us sell the raffle tickets. Winners have taken home as much as $4,900.00 so far this season and have included current and former Izzone members and most recently, a Rebounder member! Raffle tickets are sold at each gate for $1 each or 6 for $5.00. During the Big Ten season we are fortunate enough to have Capital Region International Airport add a second prize which is an airline voucher good toward non-stop travel to Cancun with Apple Vacations. A big thank you to Troppos for sponsoring the raffle tickets during the Big Ten season.
