Clemson University is a special place. A place that changes lives and embraces each and every person it touches as a member of its own. The Clemson Family is a unique bond that ties people together of all origins, sex and ethnicities by a force that cannot be explained. It is a feeling, a moment in time that captures people of all walks and ways, who spend time in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Even when the time comes to leave that special place, “Where The Blue Ridge Yawns Its Greatness,� those who have moved all across this country and around the world stay strong to roots planted in Clemson. In cities all around the country, hundreds of Clemson alumni, friends and parents come together in a common bond. A bond that stems from the love for a University that has been committed to the development of young people through teaching, research and service for more than 125 years. To connect with these growing Clemson Family units, from New York to California and places in between, IPTAY, the Clemson Forever Fund and the Clemson Alumni Association are taking the Tigers on Tour this year. As giving back to Clemson is important and your participation is the key to our success. In the classroom, in athletic competition and all across campus your continued support makes a difference in the life of our great University. We are excited that you have joined us and hope that you will make the commitment and give to the help in our efforts of growing the #SolidOrange message!
GO TIGERS!

PRIORITY POINT SYSTEM The IPTAY Priority Point system is another way of rewarding the loyalty of IPTAY members. Developed in an effort to reward gift amounts and long-term support in the distribution of tickets, seating and parking, Priority Points are also used for ticket allocation to bowl games, the ACC basketball tournament and all road games. IPTAY Priority Points are determined by a formula that utilizes both loyalty and contribution levels as shown in the IPTAY Annual Level Points chart.
IPTAY PRIORITY POINTS YEARS OF DONATING TO IPTAY = ANNUAL LEVEL GIVING POINTS + TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS $250
EXAMPLE & BREAKDOWN: IPTAY DONOR: 17 years Total donation to IPTAY: $59,500 Most recent membership level: IPTAY Level (20 points)
