The Upper Deck Volunteer Alliance is a community of collectors dedicated to growing and improving the
state of the hobby.
Through a strategic initiative to further engage its loyal customer base, Upper Deck is pleased to announce the formation of the company’s new “Volunteer Alliance.” Upper Deck is encouraging fans of its products to enroll to receive special monthly “missions.” Those who make the biggest impact with their volunteer efforts on the company’s behalf will receive special Upper Deck-branded items or product.
“By engaging our worldwide consumers so successfully on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the Upper Deck Blog, we have found there is a very passionate group of positive brand advocates who want to help share how much fun the hobby can be with others,” said Upper Deck’s Sports Marketing Manager Chris Carlin. “We want to enlist these fans in the Upper Deck Volunteer Alliance to help us promote marketing programs, charity programs, general awareness for our business initiatives and other announcements. Members who help to make an impact through each month’s mission will be rewarded for giving back to the hobby they love.”
To become a member of the “Upper Deck Volunteer Alliance” fans simply need to have an online account with Upper Deck and e-mail the company at UpperDeckMarketing@upperdeck.com with the following information:
* Upper Deck Online Account Username
* Name
* Email Address
* Favorite Sports
The first mission in July (2010) for members of the “Upper Deck Volunteer Alliance” was to help create awareness for brick-and-mortar hobby shops. Future missions will be shared directly with members of the “Upper Deck Volunteer Alliance” each month through direct e-mails.
“We have always been very focused on coming up with programs to help small business owners who run hobby shops stay profitable,” said Carlin. “We know once assembled, our corps of volunteers will be able to creatively help increase interest in their business. Members may create a YouTube video to promote the shop, help to arrange an event at the store, or create and assist in managing a Facebook business page for the store owner. Really, the sky’s the limit. As members report back to us what they have done, we will reward the top 20 who made the biggest impact every month.”
Top monthly volunteers may receive items like Upper Deck-branded bags, binders, hats, boxes of trading cards, rare insert cards and even Upper Deck Authenticated Memorabilia. The company will also have other smaller missions and giveaways for members of the group as well. It is absolutely free to join the “Upper Deck Volunteer Alliance,” so what are you waiting for?

Every Month there is a NEW MISSION. Once you become a Member ( which is FREE to join! ), you will get your Mission Statement in your e-mail. Make sure you check your E-Mail EVERY month so you don't miss out on ANYTHING! This is a GREAT program Upper Deck came up with to get this everyone back IN THE GAME! ( lol so to speak! ).
You can get some GREAT prizes from Upper Deck like an Upper Deck Laptop case FILLED with packs of cards! AUTOGRAPHED Cards! AUTOGRAPHED Mini Hockey Sticks and Pucks! Some GREAT Upper Deck golf shirts, jackets, caps,etc! I saw one guy get like THREE jerseys, a 1950 Throwback Yankees Number 12 jersey! An OVERSIZED Lebron or Wade ( I forget which, if I can get the video to post here I'll show you, still new at doing a blog lol :-) ) but the oversized card WAS indeed AUTOGRAPHED ! And the briefcase he also got was FILLED with packs of cards!
I myself was one of the First ones joining the Upper Deck Alliance and received a nice laptop case filled with packs AND 3 BOXES of cards!
This is a GREAT Program to get in on, I HIGHLY recommend joining up! If your on Facebook, check out their site there under UPPER DECK ALLIANCE!
