The Cougar Athletic Fund has set records for both annual and overall giving.

In a letter to Cougar fans and supporters, Athletic Director Pat Chun notes that “as the 2017-18 fiscal year closed, the Cougar Athletic Fund set records for both annual giving revenue at $7.76 million and overall giving at $15.49 million. The CAF has seen record growth with tremendous increases in annual giving, 58 percent over the past four years.”

“Our student-athletes, coaches and staff continue to raise the bar of excellence and achieve at the highest levels of collegiate athletics,” Chun wrote, noting that Cougars had an impressive year both athletically and academically.

“We are committed to our goal of providing a world-class student-athlete experience,” he added. “As a staff, we have worked tirelessly to find revenue streams that allow us to fund scholarships, build facilities and provide opportunities for our student-athletes.”

The full letter is posted on the WSU Cougar Athletics website.
