We created Hall Hands on Deck twenty-six months ago to solicit NIL support from alumni and fans. Our focus was contributions between $10 and $2,500, a group that was largely ignored when NIL became a reality. HHOD consolidated its efforts with Onward Setonia in October 2023, and I was asked to lead crowdfunding for Onward Setonia. On April 7th the NCAA/House lawsuit will likely be settled, at which time Seton Hall will be able to share revenue directly with athletes. I envision a more robust NIL kitty as TV revenue, ticket premiums and Pirate Blue donations can be added to the mix.

Seton Hall will still need crowdfunding support to supplement its revenue sources, and I will support those efforts from the sidelines.

My final event, as the leader of crowdfunding for Onward Setonia, is our East Regional March Madness Sweeps. The winner will receive 2 all session tickets for the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games at the Prudential Center, a $1,200 gift card, and 3 nights hotel accommodations. A $3,200 value.

You've all been extremely supportive of my efforts, and those of our HHOD team, and I can't thank you enough.

PLEASE CONSIDER A CONTRIBUTION TO MY FINAL EVENT!
You can make a contribution until 9:00 PM EST, on Saturday 22nd.

Even if you can't attend, the tickets can be easily resold and the gift card is like cash.

Thanks for your consideration and past support!

Sincerely
Mike Walsh

Thank you Mike for all that you’ve done for Onward Setonia and Seton Hall!
 
You were a game changer in amongst people stuck in the past and waiting for what's next. The definition of someone that controls destiny rather than letting destiny control them. An accurate depiction of what transpired here. Dare to be great in your next venture. The world needs forward thinkers not fast followers.

Honestly, I don't even know where our NIL program would be without Mike. He stepped up when our own athletic program wouldn't. He fought and pushed through when that same athletic department refused to acknowledge him or his efforts.

As bad as it's been, it's scary to think how worse off it would be had it not been for him.
 
Thank you Mike can’t be more grateful for what you started. I’ll never forget watching you drop business cards in the Ice Fire lounge bar tables for us to pick up. It was the epitome of grassroots and just was amazing to see people stepping people when our own AD and team couldn’t or wouldn’t
