BE A PART OF BUILDING DEPAUL ATHLETICS DePaul University is in the midst of three facility improvement projects: Cacciatore Stadium - Phase II, The Outdoor Track at Lane Stadium and the Short Game Facility for Golf at Ruffled Feathers. The three initiatives have greatly improved the train-ing and playing experience of our student-athletes. Through the generosity of a number of donors these improve-ments have been com-pleted, but we continue to fundraise to complete the funding for the projects. For more information about each project, contact Thad Dohrn at 773-325-1456.

INSURE OPPORTUNITY FOR TOMORROW, TODAY DePaul Athletics fundraising efforts also focus on endowing scholarship and programming needs. Annually athletics spends nearly $5 million on scholarship expenses for its more than 200 student-athletes. By endowing scholarships, DePaul Athletics has the opportunity to enhance scholarships in some sports and redistribute available funding to maximize the depart-ment’s resources.A named scholar-ship requires a gift of $50,000. All gifts can be made in pledges over five years. Planned giving opportunities are also available.

University President Fr. Dennis Holtschneider, C.M., is joined by DePaul’s NBA star Bobby Simmons and Director of Athletics Jean Lenti Ponsetto for a presentation to recognize his gift of $250,000 from The Bobby Simmons Rising Star Foundation.
