As a friend and benefactor of the University of Oregon and the Ducks, we are asking for your help and support. Quacker Backer, a Fan Club, a Social Club, and a Membership Discount Organization, needs you. This fan club has been, over three years, in the planning and became operational in September of 2000. We now have several hundred individual members and well over a dozen corporate sponsors, with more signing up each week. The potential through out the state for 2001 and beyond is tremendous. This Duck fan club is for the thousands of Duck fans out there, all Quacker Backers, who need a fan club to identify with and solidify their adoration and commitment to the Ducks.
With the addition of the Eugene Hilton Hotel as a corporate sponsor providing our main location for Quacker Backer TailGaters, parties and special events, we can expect better exposure and continued growth. Successful TailGater parties like we had for the Holiday Bowl, with well over 300 in attendance, will attract membership quickly. Our TailGater parties for men's basketball and lady Ducks sports, are sure to capture a lot of attention, and please the fans.
We do Quacker Backer TailGaters or parties for every Duck football game, select basketball games and other Duck athletics and special events. Quacker Backer individual membership is just $10 and $25 for a family membership, a very modest cost. Members receive a Quacker Backer membership card, bumper sticker, window decal, admission to TailGaters & parties, free eats & drink, and a discount program to reward loyal Duck fans for doing business with corporate sponsors. Members will use their membership card for every purchase imaginable: restaurants, grocery stores, department stores, discount stores, office supply, barber shops & beauty salons, professional offices, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, accountants, attorneys, food, clothing, sporting goods, services, auto parts & service, gift stores, movies, video rentals, dry cleaners, and many other goods & services.
Every business benefits from being a Quacker Backer sponsor while
at the same time supporting the Ducks. In addition to the public for membership, employers can provide a discounted
membership to their employees as an employee perk.
We need Corporate sponsors like you, and your help will ensure the growth of this great Duck Club. The club offers
an exciting advertising & promotion program for corporate sponsors. Corporate sponsorship starts at just $250.
for one full year, and trade & barters are welcome. As a Quacker Backer Corporate sponsor we will bring our
members to your business. Quacker Backer members are loyal to the Ducks and loyal to Quacker Backer. They will
know you support us, and they will support you & your business, your services and products. Here's a partial
