Record Breaking Year of Support for WVSU Athletics
INSTITUTE, West Virginia -- The West Virginia State University Athletic Department reported a record breaking year of support for WVSU sports programs during the recently completed 2017-1018 Fiscal Year. That support totaled $357,892.31 which includes monies from donations, sponsorships, ticket sales and other sources. The previous record was $318,064.96, set in 2015-2016.
"This would not have been possible without the tremendous support of the Yellow Jacket Nation," said WVSU Athletic Director Nate Burton. "On behalf of our coaches and student-athletes, I would like to thank the W-Club, our alumni, fans, donors, and community partners."
Since July of 2015, support totals almost a million dollars at $972,642.92. Nearly every one of the 10 sport-specific fundraising initiatives surpassed the amount raised from the previous year.
"As we move to 2018-2019, private support will be critical to provide even more opportunities for our student-athletes, coaches and programs."
July 2017 – June 2018 $357,892.31
July 2016 – June 2017 $296,685.65
July 2015 – June 2016 $318,064.96
