For 92 years, IPTAY members have been the engine of Clemson Athletics, and we are grateful to every one of them.
Graham NeffDirector of AthleticsCLEMSON, S.C. — IPTAY has announced the official launch of GOCAMS, “Giving Our Clemson All My Support,” a new philanthropic giving society built to support the championship success of Clemson Athletics and its student-athletes. GOCAMS is one of several acronyms on IPTAY’s original seal from its founding in 1934, making the name both a nod to IPTAY’s history and a reflection of the society’s purpose.
“These are changing times, and we are evolving with them,” said Director of Athletics Graham Neff. “Winning at the highest level takes championship-level resources, and Clemson intends to compete with the nation’s best. For 92 years, IPTAY members have been the engine of Clemson Athletics, and we are grateful to every one of them. Annual giving continues to drive us forward, and we must stay committed to exercising great care in how we deploy the resources we have. For those ready to do more, GOCAMS is the pathway that connects IPTAY’s past to its future.”
IPTAY continues to support more than 400 scholarships annually, academic services, sports performance, and a best-in-class student-athlete experience. In addition, with the recent implementation of revenue sharing with student-athletes, there is greater opportunity to supplement many of the traditional revenue-generating strategies.
GOCAMS membership begins with a major gift of $50,000 or more, made as a five-year pledge. GOCAMS gifts are separate from donors’ IPTAY Annual Fund contributions and premium seating capital gift pledges.
“The introduction of GOCAMS reflects the commitment and investment put forth by IPTAY and Clemson Athletics as we move into the future,” said IPTAY CEO Travis Furbee. “We know there are many members of the Clemson Family who are actively seeking ways to propel Clemson Athletics in this era beyond their annual gifts. Others are looking for giving opportunities that better align with their philanthropic goals. While annual giving will remain the core of our operation, GOCAMS provides another avenue to go above and beyond.”
GOCAMS gifts are unrestricted, so they can go where the need is greatest. They can support scholarships, academic services, sports performance, facilities, or could be shared directly with student-athletes through approved revenue sharing programs. GOCAMS members will be stewarded through elevated engagement opportunities within Clemson Athletics, including premium experiences, curated events, and inside access to the athletics enterprise.
Donors who want to give in another way can support Clemson Athletics and its student-athletes through the Athletics Excellence Fund HERE.
