UCF athletics announced that it has generated an all-time high in fundraising, with $52.8 million in cash and commitments for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, according to a statement released by the school on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis accomplishment is a testament to the passion and dedication of our staff, as well as the belief from our wonderful donors,\u201d deputy athletics director and associate vice president Mark Wright said in a statement. \u201cThere\u2019s still much work ahead to fully close the gap with our Big 12 peers and sustain success at the highest level. But moments like this remind us that we\u2019re on the right path.\u201d<\/p>\n
The record-setting total was amassed from contributions of more than 13,206 donors, 467 Shareholders Society donors and 579 Varsity Knights members, marking the fourth consecutive year UCF has surpassed $40 million in annual fundraising commitments for the Charge On Fund, according to UCF.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur continued growth in fundraising is a clear indication that our donors and alumni believe in our compelling vision of competing for championships in the Big 12 and on the national stage,\u201d UCF vice president and director of athletics Terry Mohajir said in a statement. \u201cThis surge in donor and philanthropic support will yield dividends for our student-athletes both on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
