Capital Campaign/Endowment

The principal driver of the Foundation’s Capital Campaign is a new and expanded vision for the future.

The goal is to increase the endowed funds in the Foundation in order to award more and larger scholarships and research grants. In turn, this would grow the body of knowledge, increase expertise and advance the work and practice of Athletic Training.
