HOSPITALITY ROOM PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

The Patriot Club has worked with area restaurants and catering companies to provide complimentary catering services for our sports' programs at George Mason University for many years. A primary component of this involves our home Men's Basketball games played at the Patriot Center. Given the resounding performance of our Men's Basketball team over the past few years, coupled with several of our other teams and individuals making NCAA appearances, one of the programs the Patriot Club is eager to build upon its Hospitality Room Partnership Program. By allowing current partners to continue their relationship as well as inviting new entities to join in the excitement of George Mason University Athletics the Patriot Club will continue to broaden the scope of Patriot Club partners.

The Patriot Club is looking to supplement its existing support by inviting new restaurants and catering companies to provide the food service for Men's Basketball games in either of our two hospitality rooms during the 2007-2008 season.

The purpose of the Patriot Club's Hospitality Room Partnership Program is twofold:

• Serve as a fun, yet professional setting for pre-game spirit gatherings before our Men's Basketball games held at the Patriot Center; and
• Allow current caterers the right to select the game they would like to cater, while inviting new restaurants and catering companies to share in the partnership benefits associated with George Mason University athletics.
