March 16 will be the kick off for the Club’s inaugural Member Week.
The Bulldog pack has been gathering across the off-season, and next week the Club turns its focus our core - our members.
Support has steadily been building throughout the pre-season months, with the membership base growing stronger by the day, counting down to round one.
More members have renewed for 2015 compared to the same time last year, Victoria University Whitten Oval was rocking as our members helped sell out our spiritual home for the our NAB Challenge opener against Richmond, and momentum is building behind the Club's ‘Pay it Forward’ campaign to help purchase additional memberships for friends and family yet to be paid up and passionate ahead of the new season.
Starting from Monday next week, our players will be taking to the phones to call some lucky members who have been loyal to the Club over the years – and a few who have yet to renew for 2015.
If you know someone who is yet to renew or hasn’t been a member before – you can send us their number and we’ll see if we can give them a call.
And don’t be shy if you want a call yourself, we will try our best to get the players to contact as many of our members as possible.

Pay it Forward:
The Club's ‘Pay it Forward’ campaign has had an overwhelming response from members and fans alike.
Some of the Bulldogs' high profile supporters have created videos to share their message of passion for the club , and the response from our loyal members has been the icing on the cake.
The Club has received many calls from members stepping up and shouting a membership for their family and friends.
Many have also generously donated the cost of a membership, which we will pass on to members of our community who cannot afford to get to the footy.
So if you don’t know anyone who you could buy a membership for, but want to be involved, call the Club on 1300 46 36 47 and we'll arrange for your generous donation of a membership to be passed on to someone who will really appreciate it.
Keep an eye out during Member Week for more ‘Pay it Forward’ stories.
