The financial impact of University of Arkansas basketball player JD Notae’s name, image, and likeness (NIL) deal on a regional nonprofit has, so far, been significant.
Notae’s ongoing “Drop A Dime” fundraising campaign benefitting Samaritan Community Center (SCC) raised $22,500 from Feb. 1 through March 8. The amount results from Notae soliciting contributions through social media posts and other activity and a running tally for bids to win an official Razorback basketball signed by Notae.
Notae, an All-American guard for the Razorbacks, supports SCC through a NIL deal with Athlete Advocate Consortium (AAC).
