Game Day’s Impact Jet Card combines private aviation access, donor-driven impact, and year-round financial support for college athletics
HOUSTON, TX — [June 13, 2026] — Game Day Private Jets today announced the launch of the Game Day Impact Jet Card™, the first and only private aviation card program dedicated to supporting college athletics, NIL opportunities, and donor-activated travel experiences.
Built from the ground up for the modern era of college sports, the Game Day Impact Jet Card gives donors, business leaders, and passionate fans a way to fly private while creating measurable impact for the schools and student-athletes they care about most.
Unlike traditional jet card programs that primarily focus on prepaid flight hours, aircraft access, or generic private travel benefits, the Game Day Impact Jet Card was designed around a different mission: helping supporters travel better, engage deeper, and help fund college athletics in a smarter, more structured way.
“This is exactly why Game Day Private Jets exists,” said Luis Garcia, Founder & CEO of Game Day Private Jets. “College athletics has entered a new era, and the most forward-thinking supporters are looking for ways to do more than write a check. They want access, experience, impact, and confidence that their dollars are being used in a positive and compliant way. The Game Day Impact Jet Card brings all of that together through private aviation.”
A Private Aviation Card Built for the College Sports Economy
The Game Day Impact Jet Card is available in three card levels:
- $100,000 Game Day Impact Jet Card
- $250,000 Game Day Impact Jet Card
- $500,000 Game Day Impact Jet Card
Each card includes three core platform components:
Game Day Lifetime Membership Status (Limited to 1st 100 Cards Only)
Currently an annual Family Membership is $949 a year. With the purchase of any card, the first 100 buyers will earn Lifetime Membership Status. Meaning they will never need to pay the annual renewal, even after the card is exhausted.
Game Day FlexFunds
Funds that may be used within the Game Day ecosystem for private charters, Game Day Shuttles, hosted travel experiences, and other community engagement opportunities.
Game Day Impact Fund Allocation
A defined allocation designed to create immediate impact for the buyer’s chosen school through NIL, marketing, student-athlete opportunities, and other compliant college athletics initiatives.
Every card purchase is designed to create immediate impact for the buyer’s selected school, while also generating an ongoing hourly impact component as the cardholder flies throughout the year.
“This is not just a jet card with a sports logo attached to it,” Garcia said. “This is a purpose-built platform for the people who care deeply about college athletics and want their private travel to mean more.”
Designed for Occasional Flyers and Existing Jet Card Users
The Game Day Impact Jet Card was created for a wide range of private aviation users, including occasional flyers, business owners, and fans who want access to premium private travel without committing to a traditional fractional ownership structure.
It can also serve as a complementary solution for individuals and companies that already participate in fractional ownership, jet card programs, own private jets, or have existing charter relationships, but need additional lift during peak travel periods, college football weekends, post-season events, parents’ weekends, and high-demand sports travel windows.
“For some members, this may become their primary private aviation solution,” Garcia said. “For others, it may be the supplemental lift they use when their current program does not fit the mission, destination, timing, or the experience they want around college sports. Either way, the difference is clear: when they fly with Game Day, their travel creates impact.”
Built Asset-Light to Reinvest More Into College Athletics
Game Day Private Jets operates an asset-light private aviation model, allowing the company to focus on member experience, school partnerships, demand aggregation, and impact-driven travel initiatives rather than owning or operating aircraft.
That structure allows Game Day to create a different economic model than traditional legacy private aviation providers. By avoiding the heavy capital requirements of aircraft ownership, fleet operations, and fixed infrastructure, Game Day can dedicate more of its platform economics toward college athletics, NIL initiatives, donor engagement, and school-aligned revenue opportunities.
“Legacy private aviation companies are not built for this,” Garcia said. “They were built around selling aircraft, bulk flight hours, and high utilization. We were built around the college sports game day experience, helping to increase donor engagement, and creating financial impact. That distinction matters, it allows us to provide our members better charter pricing and what makes Game Day Private Jets foundationally different from any other solution.”
Supporting the Modern Era of NIL and College Athletics
The Game Day Impact Jet Card arrives at a time when athletic departments, booster organizations, and donor communities are searching for new ways to generate external revenue and support student-athletes in a rapidly changing college sports environment.
Through the Game Day Impact Fund and approved school-aligned opportunities, Game Day aims to help supporters create meaningful NIL impact while also receiving premium private travel access, member benefits, and unique sports travel experiences.
The structure is designed to support commercial opportunities, student-athlete marketing activations, school-aligned initiatives, and long-term donor engagement without relying solely on traditional fundraising models. As athletic departments navigate direct revenue sharing, NIL, roster investment, donor fatigue, and rising competitive demands, Game Day provides a way to convert premium travel demand into a recurring source of athletics-aligned impact.
“College athletics needs new revenue engines,” said Ross Flurry, VP Strategy & Development. “The schools and supporters who move first are going to have a major advantage. We believe private aviation can become one of the most powerful donor activation channels in the country because it connects something high-net-worth supporters already value — time, access, and experience — with something they deeply care about: their school. And with the addition of Game Day Shuttles where members can book individual seats on scheduled private jet flights to games, we’re making it more accessible and affordable than ever before.”
A New Revenue and Experiential Opportunity for Athletic Departments, NIL Teams, and Booster Organizations
For athletic departments and NIL teams, the Game Day Impact Jet Card creates a new path to donor-driven revenue, above-the-cap NIL, and broader athletics impact.
As schools adjust to the new era of college athletics, many athletic departments are evaluating how to support revenue-share objectives, expand NIL opportunities, strengthen donor engagement, and create new commercial revenue channels without relying solely on traditional fundraising.
Game Day was built to help address that challenge by creating a premium commercial platform that turns donor travel demand into athletics-aligned revenue.
Through co-branded card opportunities, school-specific campaigns, donor activation programs, and Game Day’s REVUP platform, participating schools can create new funding channels that may support revenue-share objectives, above-the-cap NIL, student-athlete marketing opportunities, and other approved athletics initiatives.
In practical terms, the Game Day Impact Jet Card gives schools and their supporters a marketable product that donors actually want: premium private aviation access, curated college sports travel experiences, and a structured way to create meaningful impact for student-athletes and athletics programs.
Participating schools may be able to generate hundreds of thousands — and in certain markets, potentially millions — in incremental NIL and athletics-related impact through co-branded Game Day Jet Cards, donor-only travel programs, athlete marketing campaigns, premium game day travel experiences, Game Day Shuttle activations, and customized packages for major donors, corporate sponsors, and alumni associations.
For schools competing in the modern college athletics environment, the message is direct: private aviation is no longer just a luxury service. Properly structured, it can become a strategic donor engagement platform and a meaningful revenue engine for the new era of college sports.
“Athletic departments are under pressure to find new revenue, new donor touchpoints, and new ways to support student-athletes,” Garcia said. “The Game Day Impact Jet Card gives them something different. It gives them a premium, marketable product that donors actually want, while creating a new channel for NIL, revenue-share support, and athletics impact.”
Bringing Members Closer to the Programs They Love
Beyond the economics, the Game Day Impact Jet Card is designed to deliver something legacy jet card providers cannot offer: authentic college sports connection.
Game Day members are not simply buying access to flights. They are gaining access to a curated travel ecosystem built around rivalry weekends, road games, playoff runs, alumni events, donor trips, bowl games, tournaments, tailgates, student-athlete activations, and want to share those experiences with other supporters.
The company’s long-term vision includes school-specific card programs, premium donor travel campaigns, and branded travel experiences that bring fans and supporters closer to the programs they love.
“This is about more than getting from one airport to another,” Flurry said. “It is about the Saturday morning flight with friends, the road game that becomes a lifetime memory, the donor trip that helps fund a roster, and the ability to support student-athletes while enjoying a world-class private travel experience.”
Clearly Defined Lane
With the launch of the Game Day Impact Jet Card, Game Day Private Jets is making a clear statement about its role in the future of private aviation and college athletics.
The company is not seeking to be another generic jet card provider. It is also not trying to compete with current fractional or jet providers that focus on coach recruitment or university administrative travel. It is building a brand-new category around college sports travel, donor engagement, NIL support, and private aviation experiences designed specifically for alumni, donors, businesses, and athletic stakeholders.
“This is our lane and this is our focus,” Garcia said. “We are strong advocates for college sports, student-athletes, and supporters who want to help shape the future. The Game Day Impact Jet Card is one of the clearest examples of how private aviation can evolve from a luxury product into a powerful platform for impact.”
Garcia added, “We believe the next great wave of college athletics support will come from products and platforms that create value on all sides — value for the supporter, value the players, and value for the school. That is what we are building at Game Day Private Jets.”
