BAF Volunteer Program
Do you have a passion for St. Bonaventure Athletics?
Then this is the perfect way to get involved!
The St. Bonaventure Athletic Department is building a strong system
of Bonaventure Athletic Fund Volunteers throughout the nation.
Volunteers serve as the local contact for regional BAF members and
Bonnies fans, and work closely with the Athletics Department staff.
There is no better way to be connected and involved with St.
Bonaventure Athletics than through the BAF Volunteer Program.
Who can be a BAF Volunteer?
Anyone. Volunteers are Bonas alumni, former student-athletes,
parents of current or former students, and just plain Bonnies fans.
All you need is a passion for St. Bonaventure and a willingness to
pitch in some of your time and energy.
What do BAF Volunteers do?
Volunteers are segmented depending on their background and/or
interests. Alums of a sports teams may work with just that team,
helping reach out to fellow alums to increase annual donations to
their program or setting up specific events; for example, an alumni
game or cookout. Regional BAF Chapter volunteers will work within
the region where they live. During the 2010-11 school
year, BAF Chapters will be established in these regions:
Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Charlotte and New York Metro.
What are some examples of BAF Chapter work?
Each of the past three years, a group of volunteers led by Don
Eichenauer '76 organized and ran a Golf With The Bonnies
tournament in Rochester. The Rochester BAF Chapter is
committed to running this tournament every year at different sites
around their region. Their work includes invitations, marketing,
billing and all tournament preparations.
Other traditional events which include BAF Volunteers are the
coaches luncheons held in Buffalo every fall and the annual Golf
With the Bonnies Tournament at Bartlett Country Club on the first
Friday of May. Other planned events include socials before and
after basketball games and BAF socials and meetings outside of
basketball season.
