On Thursday, supporters of University of Minnesota athletics helped raise more than two million dollars in commitments as part of Give to the Max Day.
"We're so thankful for all of our donors to the Golden Gopher Fund," said athletics director Mark Coyle. "With Give to the Max Day, it's such a special day for our department. For us to raise the type of money we do - it's awesome to find people who believe in our student-athletes and believe in our 25 programs."
The total figure of $2.07 million represents a 262 percent increase in fundraising from Give to the Max Day 2017, which in turn was a 252 percent increase from the prior year. More than 300 individuals donated to the effort, including 12 major gifts which each mark a commitment of $50,000 or more. Other notable donations included 49 donors who will have an engraved brick located within the Athletes Village complex, and 209 donors using crowdfunding.
Supporters of the Maroon and Gold still have plenty of opportunities to donate by visiting the links above.
