Athletics Department Shines on 2020 Wright Day to Give
10/6/2020 5:25:00 PM | Giving
A total of 351 donors helped support Wright State's 200-plus student-athletes with over $68,000 in gifts to the Athletics Department and individual sport programs during the University's annual 'Wright Day to Give' that took place on October 1, 2020.
The campaign was driven through individual sport programs and coaches, social-media promotion and an online crowdfunding platform. Wright State Athletics donations comprised 33 percent of all money raised during the university-wide campaign, as well as one-third of the number of different donors. All gifts to a specific sport will be used in a variety of different avenues, including continued improvements in team apparel, travel, recruiting, facilities upkeep, student-athlete nutrition, leadership training and more.
"On behalf of all of our student-athletes, coaches and athletic department staff, I would like to extend thanks to all of our friends, family, alumni and other Raider fans that supported Wright State Athletics on the Wright Day to Give," Jeff Giles, Associate Athletic Director for External Operations, said. "The outstanding support from the Raider community speaks to their commitment to our student-athletes and what they're achieving in the classroom and in competition. Given the financial challenges the department faces, every gift will make an impact. We look forward to continued support from Raider fans this year and beyond."
