Product Donations
Each year, the University Program Board programs events that are interactive with students and community members. In order to maintain attendance and a certain "excitement level," UPB routinely gives away gift certificates and product from local business establishments. These give away items are a great way to increase your company's image on campus. Prizes are awarded solely to currently enrolled SCSU students. When a prize is given away, not only does the winner receive a coupon or gift certificate that is valid at your company, but public acknowledgement of your business is also presented. By awarding your products/gift certificates to students, this also serves as an effective way to introduce students to your business.
In order to provide enough donations for our events, and to streamline the process for your business, we are requesting these donations for the entire 2008-2009 academic year. We guarantee that representatives from UPB will not approach your business until the next academic year. We understand that numerous requests throughout the year can be burdensome. So, in order to supply enough give away items for the year, which encompasses over 150 events, we would appreciate any bulk amount of gift certificates or products you would be able to supply.
If your business is interested in product donation, please contact our
