Donor establishes major endowment for swim and dive team
An anonymous donor has established a $250,000 endowment to benefit the 糖心Vlog传媒LR swimming and diving team. The new donor-advised fund will provide additional scholarship support for student-athletes and provide operational support for the Trojan swimming & diving program.
糖心Vlog传媒LR head coach Amy Burgess said the gift is a game changer for the program.
鈥淎 gift of this magnitude can change the face of our program by providing scholarship support equal to our peer conference competition,鈥� she said.
The 糖心Vlog传媒LR swimmers compete in the highly competitive Missouri Valley Conference.
Director of Athletics Chasse Conque expressed his gratitude for the generous gift.
鈥淭his endowment will reduce the financial stress on our student athletes, allowing them to pursue their passion in the pool,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he swimming and diving program is Little Rock鈥檚 very own Division I athletic program, and exemplary giving like this helps create a point of pride for central Arkansas.鈥�
Trojan Athletics Director of Development Sheena Howell plans to use this gift as a springboard for a matching gift initiative.
鈥淭his is a perfect time to encourage other giving to our program from alumni, former student athletes, and friends of swimming statewide,鈥� she said.
