--University Athletic Departments Cash-In Online--

College and university athletic departments are finding a new revenue stream by using the Internet as a source for funding.

Websites like mrgoodbucks.com enable consumers to make purchases and, at the same time, donate to college and university athletic departments.

Up to 15 percent of the shopper's purchases goes to the organization of their choice--at no additional cost.

"Simply being successful at traditional fundraising methods is not good enough anymore," said Gene Corrigan, former NCAA president and former ACC commissioner. "Schools are competing with more and more organizations for the same donors while, at the same time, donors are being approached by more charities than ever. A partnership with mrgoodbucks.com makes it easy for alumni, staff, fans, and students to give back while shopping online."

"Making purchases through mrgoodbucks.com doesn't cost the consumer one penny more and can have a significant impact on a university's athletic budget," said David Randle, executive vice president of mrgoodbucks.com.mrgoodbucks.com expects a surge in activity as students and sports fans gear up for the back-to-school season. Consumers can purchase text books, clothes, computers, and football tickets from mrgoodbucks.com e-tailers such as varsitybooks.com, gap.com, cduniverse.com and ticketsupfront.com. "Often students and young alumni don't have the resources to financially give back to their school. By shopping through mrgoodbucks.com, an individual who purchases five CDs, at an average cost of $15 per CD, can automatically donate $11.25 to their school. Over a period of time, these donations start to add up," said Randle. Its easy to see why so many schools are turning to the Internet for fundraising."
