UA typically does not fund prizes for events... could we do something like =
what we did the other night where you use money you already have (if you ha=
ve any) for the $250 gift card and then we could fill in the $250 hole and =
t-shirts?
Best,

Subject: Head of the Zesiger (HOTZ) funding
Hey Senate,
To get to the point, I want to see Senate=92s response to consider funding =
~ $1150 to help through an event. I am hoping to hear responses rather qui=
ckly, as we need to make sure we have a source for funding!
I have been helping DAPER plan their annual HOTZ event this upcoming IAP. =
Basically it is a cardboard boat building competition. It happens at the e=
nd of IAP, and has had great success in the past. Recently it has suffered=
a bit, but I would like to try and help them revitalize the event by using=
the UA=92s ability to advertise and promote.
We would like to include a prize for the winner =96 we were thinking an Ame=
rican Express Gift Card for $250. We also would like to get 75 shirts, whi=
ch would be approximately $12. Would Senate be interested in funding $1150=
to accomplish this?
We would not be funding he entire event (there is also advertising and mate=
rial costs that DAPER is covering). This event is open to more than just t=
he undergrads, but it is certainly focused to them and sounds like a great =
opportunity.
Thanks,
Michael Walsh
UA Athletics Chair
