JACKRABBIT CLUB RAISES RECORD AMOUNT
6/12/2023 10:00:00 AM | General
Jackrabbit Club members contributed more than $2.32 million during the most recent fiscal year, shattering the previous annual fund record in support of student-athlete scholarships at South Dakota State University.
Â
"Coupled with a record-setting Jackrabbit Athletic Scholarship Auction earlier this spring, we are able to cover the cost of our athletic scholarships," SDSU Director of Athletics Justin Sell said. "Our competitive success throughout our program, including winning a national championship in football, has translated into interest in and support of Jackrabbit Athletics at an all-time high."
Â
The dollar amount represents a 25 percent increase from the previous fiscal year, with contributions nearly doubling in a two-year span. More than 2,300 donors contributed to the Jackrabbit Club during FY2023.
Â
"The record-setting growth of our Jackrabbit Club is a testament to the passion of Jackrabbit Nation. We are so thankful and appreciative to our generous donors for the incredible support we receive annually and for making it another record-breaking year," said Senior Associate Athletic Director Nathan Christensen. "The scholarship funds raised annually allow us to provide a transformative experience for our student-athletes on and off the field."
Â
Annual membership in the Jackrabbit Club remains the most fundamental way to support SDSU student-athletes, with the annual fund supporting SDSU Athletics' $4.3 million scholarship bill. Each dollar given to the Jackrabbit Club is a direct investment in Jackrabbit student-athletes.
Â
In addition to supporting student-athlete scholarships, Jackrabbit Club members enjoy a host of great benefits throughout the athletics calendar. Benefits include priority parking and seating at Jackrabbit home games, inside access to their favorite SDSU programs, invitations to exclusive events, discounts at select local businesses, and more.
