FOI #26-147 (03-10-26, 10:12 am) - Subject - Mascot Appearance Revenue

Name - David Covucci

Affiliation - FOIAball

I am looking to do a story on what schools' mascots are booked most frequently for events such as weddings, birthdays, business openings, etc. and how much revenue that brings in to the school.

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

A full booking log or document detailing all paid appearances by your school’s costumed mascot, Jonathan.

Any document that details all income the school has received from paid mascot appearances.

I am also requesting a copy of a contract for booking your school’s mascot, which includes all rates and fees.

If your mascot also has a rider for events (like needing a changing room or solely brown M&Ms), I’ll take that too.

I am amenable to you fulfilling this request in the simplest fashion possible. If you are able to provide the sum total as well as the number of events, I am happy to take those figures. I understand providing them may constitute providing a new record, but I am trying to avoid a situation where you need to redact 200 brides' names.

If you do not maintain a log or document covering all those documents, I am happy to accept all invoices or contracts for each individual booking. However, I understand that may contain lots of personal identifiable information and require lots of redacting. I willingly agree to any bulk redactions your school deems necessary and I would not intend to challenge them. (I don’t need to know whose wedding your mascot went to).

So… again, I will accept whatever documentation your university believes is easiest to provide, so long as it includes the total income, total number of bookings, and rates/fee schedule.

I am requesting documents from 1/1/2025 to 12/31/2025. However, if your university operates on a different fiscal calendar and it is easier to provide a year's worth of data based on your FY as opposed to the calendar year, that is okay, too.
