FAMU Day at The Mall
The Rattlers of FAMU made their presence felt in the mall on Sunday, August 17th with FAMU Day at the Mall. The Athletic Department and the Rattler Boosters combined FAMU Fan Day and FAMU Day at the Mall to more effectively serve their loyal fans. The emcee of the event was Mickey Clayton while the Tallahassee Alumni, SGA officials and the University Administration all made greetings to the FAMU faithful. The cheerleaders were there and so was the Marching 100. The music flowed and the cheers of the Rattlers resonated throughout the mall. Click here to check out FAMU Day at The Mall Photos
Coach Joe Taylor's 2008 Rattler football team signed autographs and took pictures for nearly an hour with the loyal FAMU supporters. The love fest was obvious as the fans and the football team took pictures, posed and signed autographs as they bonded.

Million Dollar Cook-Out
The first ever "Investor Event" for the athletic department was held on Saturday, August 9th at Bragg Memorial Stadium. The Million Dollar Cook-Out was held at 6 pm under the stands of Bragg. The area had been completely redone complete with flowers from the University Green House, tables, orange and green balloons, dj and green table clothes. The setting was Rattler-tized complete with an appearance by the 2008 FAMU Rattler cheerleladers.Â
The intent of the event was to honor those individuals who have invested with the Rattler Athletic Department with contributions of $1,000 and more by donating to the $1,000 Strikes or are Fang level Boosters or higher. The event was intended to let investors know the athletic department appreciated the support given and to secure more investors to give to the $1,000 Strikes or to the Rattler Boosters.
Also unveiled is the newly created Presidents Club that is on the west side of the stadium. It is an exclusive area for the University President. It will allow for pregame activities for the University President and individuals who have given at the $1,000 level (either as Rattler Boosters or $1,000 Strikes members).
The event was a resounding success as over 300 Rattler supporters attended the event as Dr. James Ammons spoke to the Rattler faithful and led them through .. "dark clouds gather on the horizon... "
There are still opportunities to join the exclusive $1,000 Strikes or the Fang level of the Rattler Boosters. Have your name put on the $1,000 Strike board as a member of the $1,000 Strikes or as a Fang Level Rattler Booster (Fang Level Booster is also considered a Strike member).
