Under current Internal Revenue Code provisions, no more than 80% of an
amount paid to or for the benefit of an institution of higher education
may be treated as charitable contribution if, as a result of the
payment, the donor receives the right to purchase tickets for seating at
an athletic event in an athletic stadium at the institution. You
should consult your tax advisor to determine whether these provisions
apply to you.
