Donors and Difference-Makers

Thank you to our generous 2014-15 donors!

 

Since 1861, Husky Athletics has been the “front porch” to the University of Washington, bringing thousands of people to campus every year and raising the visibility and prestige of our great University.

Through the shared experience of supporting the Huskies, people of all ages, beliefs and backgrounds unite. We build community while building champions. None of this would be possible without you, our loyal donors. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Seat-related donors make contributions tied to the purchase of their seats at Husky football and basketball games. In 2014-15, nearly 6,900 committed fans and supporters donated more than $16 million to fuel the success of Washington athletic programs and student-athletes.

We Are Washington Scholarship Fund donors generously direct their gifts to support the education of 600 student-athletes, with 832 contributors donating $621,000 last year.

Team support helps our 22 individual athletic programs deliver a leading-edge student experience to team members while fueling competitive success. In 2014-15, more than 2,100 people donated $2.2 million to help cover expenses for training, conditioning, travel, recruiting, equipment and much more.

 

The Tyee Club Champions Circle includes individuals and families whose lifetime dedication to supporting Husky Athletics has topped $1 million. Together, members of the Champions Circle have donated more than $93 million to provide life-changing scholarships, to erect world-class facilities and to develop competitive Husky teams and well-educated student-athletes. We are honored to recognize them here.
