The Washburn University Alumni Association and Foundation announced on Feb. 1, 2018, a $1.5 million matching gift challenge to the new Indoor Practice Facility at Washburn University.
Loren Ferré, Washburn Athletics director, said this challenge will be an important opportunity for alumni, friends and the community to come together to support the future of Washburn Athletics.
At the Dec. 13, 2017, Washburn Board of Regents meeting, the board unanimously approved a proposal for the University to build an Indoor Practice Facility on campus. The project will feature a 100-yard indoor field for football, space for baseball and softball to practice concurrently, ample space for the soccer team, an indoor track and meeting rooms.
Marshall Meek, president, Washburn University Alumni Association and Foundation, is excited for this challenge to benefit student-athletes who will have more space for practice and training.
“We are grateful for this family foundation’s vision and generous match and look forward to working with former student-athletes, alumni and friends of Washburn Athletics to make this new practice facility a reality,” Meek said.
You can give online today and have your gift matched, or you can contact Bruce Steinbrock at 785.670.1334 or bsteinbrock@wualumni.org to give or learn more.
