There’s never been a better time to be part of the Hilltopper Athletic Foundation
with interest at an all time high.
Amy Bingham has more on the H.A.F. in this week’s View from the Hill.
Back to back bowl wins in football, a new era set to begin in men’s basketball and a
combined six conference championships last season. It’s a great time to be a
Hilltopper and to be part of the Hilltopper Athletic Foundation.
Todd Stewart \Athletic Director
Larry Cash \ Executive Director, H.A.F.
“nothing breeds excitement like winning.”
Hilltopper nation is excited for the winning ways to continue.
“I’ve been here nine years, Athletic Director for five, and I’ve never seen as much
excitement across the board in our programs as we have right now.”
With fall sports getting underway, interest in the HIlltopper Athletic Foundation has
never been higher as evidenced by attendance at last week’s annual dinner.
“It kickstarts the year, normally held in the Harbaugh club but had to move to
Diddle, ended up with close to 500 people which is an all time high.”
It was a chance for HAF members to get a first hand account of this year’s teams
from the coaches.
“People have excitement building for football, that’s great and excitment for
Stansbury and the basketball leadership. It’s huge.”
The HAF recently wrapped up its annual fund drive adding commitments to a group
that already tops two thousand people.
“right now continuing to trend in a very strong financial direction that we are very
excited about.”
The HAF has been around since 1965 offering ticket and parking perks to people
who commit at least fifty dollars. But that’s not even the biggest benefit .
“The biggest benefit of all is knowing your making a difference in the lives of our
student athletes.”
Gifts of all amounts make a direct impact on Hilltopper Athletics and the student
athletes.
