Frequently Asked Questions

CAMBA is a nonprofit social club, organized as a section 501(c)(7).

Since we abide by the rules set out in section 501(c)(7), we are tax exempt. For more details, please speak with a tax representative.

No, CAMBA is not a direct affiliate with UNC Charlotte and is its own separate private social organization. We are in no competition with the alumni chapters that are associated with the university.

CAMBA hosts events dedicated to bringing band alumni together and also supporting the current PNNMB/basketball band. Such events include football alumni day/weekend, basketball alumni day, tailgating, and casual hangouts at local UNC Charlotte events. Any member in good standing is allowed to participate in these events and activities! For more information, check out our Events page.

Membership in the Association is open to all individuals who were members of athletic bands at UNC Charlotte for at least one season during their time as students and have graduated, transferred, or otherwise left the university.

To become a member, check out the 'Join CAMBA' link in the header! So long as you continue to pay your dues on time and abide by the Code of Conduct, you are a member in good standing!

Members of CAMBA will have voting rights (including voting for dues amount), eligibility to hold office, and access to participate in events and activities held by CAMBA. Most importantly, members of CAMBA will have the opportunity to reconnect and stay connected to fellow band alumni colleagues and friends!

Here's a direct link! The Code of Conduct can also be found on the About Us page, and also in the New Member registration in Givebutter. Please make sure to read and agree to the terms!

If a member of the association believes another member has violated the code of conduct, it should be reported promptly to the Board of Directors.

Dues amounts are voted on annually by the general membership, and they are to be paid annually during the enrollment periods. Current dues amount is $25. The enrollment periods are: Dec 1–Jan 1, April 1–May 15, and Aug 1–Sept 1. Note that alumni band days may also be used as short enrollment periods.

To make a donation outside of paying dues, you can donate to the General Operations campaign found here. Please note that this is not a requirement or expectation, but it is greatly appreciated! Any questions about giving to 501(c)(7) organizations should be directed to your tax preparer.

If you miss a dues payment, your membership will be "on hold" until you pay your dues amount. This means you cannot participate in CAMBA events until you have paid your dues, then you can become a member in good standing again.
