The Killinger Football Foundation

W. Glenn Killinger Football Scholarship Foundation

The Killinger Foundation was founded in 1979 by Walter Buechele, Jim Holt, Bill Iacone, Joe Iacone, Emil Messikomer, Jr. and John Slawek with a mission to contribute to the future success of the West Chester University football program.  For more than thirty years, the Killinger Foundation armed with volunteers raised funds which were given to the University and earmarked as financial aid in the form of scholarships for student athletes in the WCU football program.  

The Killinger Foundation is operated by the Board of Directors who are made up of a volunteer group of former football players, coaches, friends and alumni.  The Killinger Foundation Board of Directors hosts the Annual Homecoming Social before the homecoming football game and the WCU Football Hall of Fame. 

The Killinger Foundation is named after football and coaching legend, Dr. Glenn W. Killinger (1898-1988). Dr. W. Glenn Killinger - who has been a source of inspiration to many students - represents honor, sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and above all, loyal friendship.  Make a gift today during the Charter Day of Giving to make an impact to the future success of the WCU Football program.
