Coral Gables, Fla. (www.hurricanesports.com) – – Hurricane Club volunteers from around Florida will gather at the Hecht Athletic Center on Saturday, March 6th @ 5 PM to continue preparations for “The Team Behind The Teams” annual campaign to raise $5 million for student-athlete scholarships at the University of Miami.

This will be the second group session available to volunteers representing chapters from throughout Florida to review parameters and outline activities for the upcoming campaign beginning April 8th, and closing May 27th. During this time period, these volunteers will compete for individual and team awards, all geared to reaching the $5 million goal. The first session was held on Saturday, February 14th.

The Hurricane Club is seeking out volunteers from across the country to assist in contacting Hurricane fans and alumni to help reach our goal. For your efforts, you will be recognized as a vital member of the Hurricane Club support team in various publications, an opportunity to earn season tickets to your choice of 2004 Hurricanes Football or 2004-05 Hurricanes Men’s Basketball, and most importantly, the knowledge and satisfaction your time, energy and contributions are ensuring UM’s status as one of our nation’s elite programs.

Without question, “The Team Behind The Teams” annual campaign is paramount in overcoming one of the biggest challenges facing Hurricane Athletics, the $8 million scholarship support needed to provide a quality education and college experience for our student-athletes. There has never been a greater need for your assistance as a volunteer for Hurricane Athletics.
