Tickets to Live Sporting Events: Are Some Fans Priced Out? |
|
“Show me the money!” This is one of the more memorable lines said by actor Tom Cruise playing the title character in the Oscar nominated 1996 romantic comedy-drama, Jerry Maguire. Outside of the movies, the directive of “Show me the money!” certainly rings true when it comes to the price of admission to any NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB championship game where ticket prices can soar into the thousands. |

August is National Make-A-Will Month! | |
|
Creating or updating your will is one of the most meaningful ways to care for the people and causes that matter most to you. A will provides peace of mind, ensures your wishes are honored, and can make the process much easier for your loved ones.
If you already have a will, August is also a great time to review it and make sure it still reflects your current priorities. For those interested in leaving a lasting legacy, many alumni and friends choose to include a charitable gift in their estate plans, helping support future generations of George Mason students while continuing to care for their families.
Interested in learning more about legacy giving?
