The "Alumni Stadium" Campaign
| • How to Give | • Naming Opportunities |
For naming the football stadium, a gift of $2.5 million is needed and the alumni of West Georgia are being encouraged to unite to create “Alumni Stadium.”
Out of its approximate 45,000 alumni and friends, UWG is seeking 1,000 committed individuals to step up and pledge $2,500 each for a total of $2.5 million. A giving program has been established to allow donations of $500 a year over a five-year period, totaling $2,500 per gift.
For loyal alumni who can do more or might need to give at a different level, any gift of any amount is encouraged and is tax deductible. The “Spirit of West Georgia” belongs to all who participate in the dream.
The campaign is well on its way to obtain the $10 million necessary for the construction. In just one year, over $3 million has been pledged by individuals who feel that this stadium will benefit not only the students, but the entire West Georgia area.
The private fundraising effort was launched in 2005 because in the state of Georgia, public colleges and universities are not allowed to use state or tuition dollars to support athletic programs and facilities.
