The Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club Inc. announced today a limited edition 100th anniversary Series II Rider Share is now available to fans as a once in a century opportunity. The new share series will remain on sale until the conclusion of the Centennial year on December 31, 2010.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer Rider Nation this opportunity to become a shareholder and own a piece of the Centennial pride,” stated Vice President of Marketing and Sales Steve Mazurak. “It truly is a great way to celebrate the Centennial while investing in the financial future of a team we all love.”
The Rider Share program was originally launched back in 2004 not only as an opportunity for fans to become owners, but to help build a solid financial foundation for the Green and White. In November of 2008, the Riders officially sold-out of the original shares when they reached their cap mark of 6,000.
“We currently find ourselves in favourable financial times,” stated Mazurak. “Yet it wasn’t that long ago that the Roughriders were far from that. When the share program was originally launched, it was a way for the fans and club to help build a solid financial foundation and contribute to the long term viability of this team.”
As a Roughrider shareholder, fans will get the opportunity to vote on team leadership, contribute to the team’s long-term viability, and help create a football dynasty owned and operated by its fans. In addition Rider shareholders receive a number of other benefits including discounts on merchandise, preferred seating upgrades, first rights to priority parking and access to special Shareholder events.
Each shareholder will receive a personalized and numbered share certificate, an owners card, as well as a window decal and bracelet. The limited edition 100th anniversary Series II Rider Share is available for a cost of $250 per share, with an option to have the certificate fully framed for $499.
To own a piece of the pride and become a Rider shareholder, fans can call 1-888-4-RIDERS or visit the Rider Ticket Office at Mosaic Stadium.
