University of Miami Athletics
The University of Miami Athletics began a multi-year partnership with Pursuant in late 2012 to create and execute an online giving strategy to drive member renewals and acquire new donors.
Membership renewals via season ticket purchases are crucial for the University of Miami, which has one of the nation's leading sports program in a very competitive sport and entertainment market.
Miami had yet to employ an online renewal and acquisition campaign when it approached Pursuant. It was using an online ticketing system that handled ticket sales extremely well, but it wasn't ideal for fundraising. The system created transactional friction and depressed giving because it required both registration and user data entry.
Pursuant developed a personalized renewal and new member campaign that used email to direct recipients to a landing page with a compelling Pursuant-produced video featuring University of Miami celebrities Coach Jimmy Johnson and Michael Irvin. The UM Building Champions landing page included vision-casting copy with a clear call to action and an embedded form pre-filled with the recipient's address information and a targeted gift amount.
Miami further used their star power by asking several celebrities to mention the campaign and the #buildingchampions theme on Twitter. Fifteen percent of all site traffic came from Twitter, making it the second highest source of traffic behind the email campaign. The 2013 Building Champions campaign also saw a high amount of mobile traffic with 41 percent of site visits occurring on a mobile device.
To reduce friction and facilitate a more seamless giving process for donors, Miami Athletics moved away from using their current ticketing system to accept donations and relied on Pursuant Sports' technical expertise to develop a payment form integrated with the computer systems of Miami's Division of University Advancement.
Pursuant's distinctive expertise in web-based membership and acquisition campaigns, their award-winning video production team, and their technical know-how to overcome software interface challenges, along with having a partner (Miami Athletics) that fully embraced and executed Pursuant's stratagies solutions, yielded astonishing results.
By the end of the six-week email campaign, the University of Miami's investment resulted in $71,764 from 445 gifts. More than half of the donors were first-time donors. From the end of the email campaign through the remainder of 2013, Miami reported additional revenue of $100,000.
As a result of Pursuant's email campaign and other activities, Pursuant's year one (2013) engagement with the University of Miami yielded incredibly successful results, helping Miami meet and far exceed their annual goal of 500 new members by 300 percent.
Looking at year two (2014) and building on the momentum of year one, Pursuant recommended a revised campaign strategy employing a similar multi-channel communications stream but with a deeper focus on renewing first-time donors to the campaign and upgrading current donors.
To achieve those results, Miami introduced "Canes Plus" giving levels to encourage members to upgrade their giving beyond the minimum required donation for each membership level. In addition, Pursuant counseled Miami to give high-dollar donors the landing page option of contacting a University of Miami Athletics representative by phone to discuss a payment plan. That offer generated a large number of follow-up interactions with Miami donors.
The year two Building Champions campaign deployed email, social media, PURLs, and search engine marketing to drive traffic to a personalized landing page featuring a Pursuant-produced video, this time featuring UM and NFL great Ray Lewis, along with UM coaches.
The campaign call to action sounded the upgrade strategy, telling supporters, "Give now, dig deep, we need you to take it to the next level as our student-athletes take it to the next level every day."
Fantastic results followed in the first six weeks of the 2014 campaign, which yielded 586 gifts, an increase of 32 percent over last year; revenue of $169,274, up 136 percent; and an average campaign gift of $341.28, a 117 percent YoY increase.
Since the end of the initial email campaign, Miami Athletics has seen an additional 194 gifts and $55,000+ in revenue with associated revenue numbers and members continuing to increase.
"Our back-to-back Building Champions campaigns link Miami's national championship tradition to the role our donors play in bringing that legacy back to Miami," said Jesse Marks, associate athletic director for development at UM. "With our national brand and Pursuant Sports' specialty in video production, along with its' powerful multi-channel messaging, we were able to hit well over 1,000 new members in our program and generate significant new donation revenue directly benefitting UM student-athletes."
Pursuant Sports is currently developing a major gift prospect strategy for the University of Miami Athletics that will give high-tier prospective donors an ultra-personalized experience. This strategy seeks to tailor communications to prospects' unique interests and ability to give, with a goal of generating six-figure donors to UM Athletics.
The mission of the Hurricane Club is to strengthen the University of Miami's commitment to student-athlete excellence, both academically and athletically. Through the Hurricane Club, volunteers, alumni, fans, and former student-athletes collectively seek to provide the operational and scholarship funding vital for all 17 varsity sports.

Remember that scene in Point Break where Patrick Swayze and friends rob a bank? Or maybe you enjoyed the bank robbery in GTA IV? Well, imagine playing either of those to scenes in 4-player co-op on your PS3. Yes, you're right - that does sound like a lot of fun. But wait - this isn't just a fun game of 'what if' - it's actually happening, thanks to Sony Online Entertainment's forthcoming first-person shooter Payday: The Heist - which PC Gamer reckons could steal the show at E3. Check out gameplay and the first trailer here:
Tim Edwards of PC Gamer has played and previewed the game and says if enough people get wind of it, it could be the game of the show. High praise indeed.
If it does turn out to be, at the very least, 'Left 4 Dead with cops', that's fine by us. Here's the game being played at the event - see what you make of it:
At the time of writing, a 'learn to surf' sidequest looks unlikely. And although a close encounter with a lawnmower blade is also unconfirmed, judging by the amount of gore and headshot action going down, we wouldn't put it past Payday.

Guanajuato House Rental Photos and Description
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 4-5)
If you've ever been to Guanajuato City, you understand why we have emphasized STREET LEVEL! Most vacation rentals in Guanajuato require a steep and exhausting climb with no vehicle access. Because Guanajuato is a very hilly city, a "good" location is one that is in the main valley. Our house is conveniently located on a pedestrian-only level callejon (street) just off Calle Juarez, one of the city's main streets. The house is in a neighborhood called Tepetapa. It is steps from the square where you will find many small shops and services, including a tortilleria, butcher, fruit and vegetable stands, hardware, hair dresser, furniture store, etc. Also at the square you can easily hail a cab or hop on a bus to all parts of the city. Both taxis and buses are extremely inexpensive and readily available.
The house itself was designed for two couples and it provides lots of privacy. The first floor has a large foyer, a den with hide-a-bed, a powder room, and a master bedroom with ensuite. The second floor has the kitchen, a dining room, a living room and another master bedroom with ensuite. Stairs lead from this floor up to the rooftop which has a BBQ, eating area, laundry and amazing views of the city. In both bedrooms, there are twin beds that can be pushed together if that suits you better. We have many windows that open, but they are supported by beautiful wrought iron features for your security. The second floor also has two sets of double doors opening onto Juliette balconies. Our recent renovation added modern appliances, and fixtures, WiFi and cable TV. This home has many wonderful Mexican features, including hand painted Talavera tiles and other authentic motifs and local art but, at the same time, the modern appliances and comfy furniture will add to your enjoyment of staying in the picturesque colonial city of Guanajuato.
If you want to see all the sights at a leisurely pace, we are an easy stroll to downtown and all the restaurants, patios and the beautiful colonial buildings and churches which make Guanajuato, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so special to visit. As you head towards town, you will pass the large, modern supermarket, Comercial or, a few blocks further on, you will pass the Mercado Hidalgo, Guanajuato's large traditional Mexican indoor market. It is totally safe and you will experience the fun of shopping for fresh local produce and browsing through the interesting kiosks.
The local shopkeepers and our neighbors speak only Spanish, but they are happy to help you with yours: buy a chicken and get a free lesson on verb conjugations! Every outing is an opportunity for a cultural exchange!! We think that living in a vibrant Mexican neighborhood enhances the experience of being in Guanajuato and hope that, if you choose to stay in our home, you will feel the same.
Our house is managed by a friendly Mexican family. They are delightful, easy to work with, and will be happy to help you practice your Spanish. They can arrange for a driver to meet you at the airport and drive you directly to the house if that is a help upon arrival.
Keywords: Street Level Home, Comfortable, Renovated, 2 master bedrooms. Casita, Guanajuato, Tepetapa, Washer and dryer, rooftop views, wireless internet

About Terri
We are two couples (sister and brother and spouses) from Victoria, B.C., Canada. We fell under the spell of Guanajuato and wanted to own property here. Once we renovated the property, we realized that we would love to share this comfortable home with other visitors to Guanajuato. It's a special place to safely enjoy the city in comfort.
Terri purchased this house in 2008
Why Terri chose Guanajuato
We looked for over a year for an affordable property at street level and were so happy to find this home located in a traditional Mexican neighborhood, rather than in the center of the tourist areas. We've found Tepetapa to be a hidden jewel, safe and with warm and friendly neighbors. It's just a bit off the beaten bath, but within an enjoyable walk to all the downtown fun.
What makes this house unique
We enjoyed furnishing the home for our personal comfort, and know you will spend wonderful times here as we have. You will truly love the fact that we are on street level, as your days will already be spent walking the city - at the end of the day, we always are grateful not to have a climb a callejon to our house, especially when we're carrying groceries! There are also numerous public transportation options to the house. We are truly happy to share this property with you and hope you enjoy your stay in our home!

John Joe Nevin
John Joe Nevin's hopes of appearing in a second successive Olympic Games are still on track despite suffering a double fracture of his cheekbone in his latest bout.
The highly rated bantamweight suffered the injury in his most recent WSB bout against Milano Thunder's Branimir Stankovic two weeks.
"I got a scan in France but didn't know how bad it was. I flew back to Germany ( where the Irish Elite squad are competing in a tournament ) but they told me to go fly back to Ireland to see a specialist in St James. I'm blessed that I'm only out for four or five weeks. It could have been a whole lot worse," he said.

Naked And Sacred Lyrics - Chynna Phillips
Naked And Sacred
When I'm with you, I feel naked and sacred
And this world can be so cold
I wanna hold you naked and sacred
Till I grow old
What does love mean? Can love last?
I ask myself these questions, haunted by the past
I've walked these city streets
I've known victoies and defeats
Searchin', hopin', just barley copin'
Baby I want to be good for you
I want to be true
Don't know how I'd live with myself
If I ever hurt you
Since I met you my life's changed
I feel like a bird that's been let out of it's cage
Baby I want to be good for you
I want to be true
Don't know how I'd live with myself
If I ever hurt you
Your hand's healing me, your love's filling me
When you go away, your hearts still in me
(Chorus x2)
