During halftime of the Xavier game on February 4th, we held a special ceremony honoring Athletics donors who have established a permanent endowment for the benefit of Memphis Student-Athletes. These endowments created through various means (including wills/estates) provide key resources to enable our programs to excel, and help fund student-athlete scholarships. We appreciate these donors who have established funds that will exist to support Memphis Athletics forever.
For information on how to create an Athletics endowment contact Adam Walker, Director of Major Gifts adam.walker@memphis.edu or 678-3910.
