A gift supports Raider Athletics programs through the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. While we don’t know what the exact effects will be, we are projecting significant declines in ticket sales and sponsorships, two major sources of revenue. A projected loss in revenue, coupled with a $2 million reduction in the Athletics operating budget, potentially limit our ability to serve our student-athletes, and provide them with a comprehensive, high-quality experience at Wright State.
Your gift can be designated to any of our athletic programs, and entitles you to annual Raider Athletic Fund memberships gifts. Money raised will go toward the funding of scholarships for returning seniors in spring sports, the purchase of equipment, team travel, and other operational expenses.
When you make a gift to Raider Athletics you are helping us fulfill our mission: To transform the lives of our student-athletes as People first, Students second, and Athletes third.
Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference.
You read that right—1,000+ donors! Your support yesterday was overwhelming. We shattered all previous giving day records, and made a real difference for our students. From the bottom of our hearts, we THANK YOU.
