2019 Lead Truck Auction Details (AND A CHANGE TO THE FINALS HEATS)

Posted on | by Bryan Arsham | 7 Comments on 2019 Lead Truck Auction Details (AND A CHANGE TO THE FINALS HEATS)

The BAA is once again holding our lead truck auction this year!  It’s the one chance you (or a, parent, a spouse, a friend, or any buggy fanatic in your life) have of being right in the middle of the action on Raceday. You’ll sit in the back of the lead truck for whatever race(s) you can win!  Proceeds help with all the costs of putting on such a spectacular Raceday, including the BAA’s sponsorship and various broadcast and other improvements.

The auction will go live on Monday morning (and don’t worry, we’ll post about it here).  Most things are the same as last year (and a description of how it works is below), but first we wanted to highlight the main change this year, and explain how it’s going to work.

Hey Buggy Alumni!  It’s your friendly neighborhood BAA Treasurer here.  Can you believe we’re LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AWAY from Raceday 2019?  Me neither!  As you know, The BAA sends out our Annual Raceday Preview to all members before Raceday.  Since those previews will be going out next week, now is the perfect time to make sure you’re a member for the 2018-2019 season!  Below is a link where you can check your status.  There are 4 possibilities:

1) You are on the list with NO asterisks – You’re all set to receive your preview

2) You are on the list WITH asterisks next to your last name (**) – You’re a member, but we don’t have your email address!  Send us an email at join@cmubuggy.org and let us know where to send your Raceday Preview.

3) You are NOT on the list but have already donated this year – If you think there’s an error and we’re missing you, forward your donation receipt to join@cmubuggy.org and we’ll make sure to update our list and get you your Raceday Preview.

4) You are NOT on the list and have NOT already donated this year – Now’s the perfect time!  A $10 donation makes you a full BAA member for the season, which gets you access to the Raceday Preview, but we accept donations of all sizes, small or large!  Your donation goes to support the BAA’s activities throughout the year, but most importantly they help support Raceday itself!  You can DONATE HERE (or, if you use CMU’s own “Give” page, make sure to select “View All Funds”, then “Other” all the way down at the bottom of the page, and then type in “Buggy Alumni Association”).  Once you get your receipt, forward it to join@cmubuggy.org and we’ll add you to the list of members!

You can check your status here, or feel free to reach out to us at join@cmubuggy.org if you have any questions or concerns. And get ready for all the things that the BAA has planned for Buggy’s 99th Anniversary, including our annual Lead Truck Auction, with details to come later this week.

BAA Financial Report – Fiscal Year 2018

Posted on | by Bryan Arsham

Hey everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood BAA Treasurer!  There were no rolls this weekend, so instead of your standard rolls report, we here at BAA HQ decided to give you a financial report!  We’re often asked a few questions related to finances, such as “where do my donations go?” and “how much money does the BAA have?”  So this year, we’ve decided to increase the BAA’s transparency and open the books!
