Balloons lol

Name: David Covucci

Affiliation: FOIAball

Location: UConn Storrs

Request Date Start: 01/01/2024

Request Date End: 12/31/2024

Details: Pursuant to Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act (Chapter 14 Conn. Gen. Stats.), I am requesting the following documents from your athletics department.

A sum total of spending on balloons from 1/1/2024 to 12/31/2024.
(I know this may seem ridiculous, but my followers on social media have loved seeing this stuff.)
I am happy to accept a lump sum from all vendors, or line items listing out individual spends with specific vendors, whichever is easier for you.

If you do provide a lump sum, I request you provide me with a list of all vendors used. Please note, while some spreadsheets specifically mention balloons, some are listed in generic entertainment categories. And some vendors don’t have balloon listed in their company name.

I’m sure you all know that, but … just putting it out there. And making this request unnecessarily longer.
I am specifically requesting spending with professional balloon vendors. If someone in your department bought balloons for a birthday, I do not need that.
If you are able to provide me solely with your school’s football program’s spending, that would be spectacular. If not, I will take all athletics spending.
