GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC FOUNDATION

RINGS & DIPLOMAS


Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation:

Proudly Continuing the Tradition of Giving In 1982, a small group of individuals formed the Southern Boosters to garner support for a fledgling football team at Georgia Southern University. Many years later, that group of faithful charter members has grown to thousands of supporters across the country, who proudly provide Georgia Southern athletes with scholarships from both an unrestricted and endowed basis. Now known as the Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation, the organization also benefits the athletic program with the construction of athletic-related facilities, equipment purchases and other goods and services necessary for the operations of the athletic department. The Eagle Fund, the annual donation campaign of the Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation, utilizes 92% of its received gifts directly for student aid. This monetary support keeps alive our vision of “Rings and Diplomas,� granting every student-athlete at Georgia Southern the opportunity to pursue his or her goal of a college education and a championship ring.

Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation Mission Statement The Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization which raises money for Georgia Southern University student-athlete scholarships and priority needs of the Athletic Department as approved by its board of directors.


From the Board Chair, Phil Moore

T

his has been a year to remember. As a board, we were presented with a challenge to help change the face of Georgia Southern Athletics for both current and future generations of studentathletes and fans. It was a mission that we accepted with open arms and then went to work. As is the case with most boards, you can’t have outstanding performance as an organization without a capable and committed staff to execute the good ideas that are generated. I’m happy to match our Athletic Foundation group against our peers, as we observed them being battle-tested time and again this year, with favorable results. We also witnessed changes in the Athletic Department’s administration. Sam Baker, a seventeen-year veteran with the University left his position as athletic director this year. Sam leaves behind a proud legacy of both winning championships and ensuring that our studentathletes receive their diplomas; an exceptional achievement of our vision of ‘Rings and Diplomas.’ His leaving ushered in a new athletic director, Tom Kleinlein,

2

whose skills and foresight will take us to the next level. Through this transition, we were faithfully guided by Dr. Ron Core, vice president for business and finance, as we responded to the vision of President Keel and looked to the future of Georgia Southern Athletics. The Soaring to Victory Capital Campaign was launched, and as a volunteer board we met regularly to discuss the vision of Rings and Diplomas for the Athletic Foundation, and our mission to achieve the financial goals set for Eagle Athletics now, and in the future. But we did not just sit in meetings—we took action. Working with Athletic Foundation staff, we set out to help contact eager and excited individuals who wanted to be part of the group of leadership donors who were committed to making the new Football Operations Center become a reality. We knew we had to first get the building paid for, so that became our priority. Phase II of our campaign is equally important. It requires us to reach out to the entire Eagle Nation and obtain additional support of current, and maybe more importantly, new donors. Never has the need to increase support to the athletics’

operational budget been greater. This increase in support will be the single most determining factor in our ability to positively position ourselves for the future. A couple years ago we launched our Delegate Program for those who wanted to help make a difference by volunteering to reach out to new and current donors. From one active volunteer for Georgia Southern Athletics to those of you who currently serve as our current Delegates, I can only say thank you and keep up the good work. We know the value of strong volunteer efforts and the positive impact it can make on an organization. You are making the difference in the lives of talented young people by helping them achieve our vision of ‘Rings and Diplomas.’ For those of you not yet heavily engaged in our Program, if you are interested in making an impact I hope you would consider becoming a Delegate volunteer. We could use your help to spread the word that exciting things are happening in Georgia Southern Athletics. And I can tell you first-hand that making such a contribution as a volunteer and donor is a tremendously rewarding experience. Come Join Us!


From the President, John Mulherin

T

his past year, we put out a call to our leadership donors to help us make history at Georgia Southern. We were embarking on the $36.6 million Soaring to Victory Capital Campaign with an immediate goal of building the new $10 million Football Operations Center—the largest privately-funded project in the history of Georgia Southern University. We invited our friends to join us in making this exceptional event come to pass for our Eagles, and we are pleased to announce that construction will begin on the new building in the late spring 2013. We gratefully thank the donors who have made this exciting event happen. Yet, the new Football Operations Center is not the only facilities update that we have to share with you; there is more exciting news to tell. The expansion of Paulson Stadium is in the design phase with construction anticipated in the late spring 2013. This is great news for our fans. Add to that, a new softball batting cage is currently under construction with completion expected by the spring season. Other projects have been initiated this year and completed—the Soccer Track Stadium has

new lighting and the Hanner Field House lower seating has been replaced. These needed upgrades can only make the student-athlete and fan experience better for years to come. All told, over $22 million has already been invested in athletic facilities, or will be, over an 18 month span. As we move farther along with our capital campaign and projects, we will continue to bring you updates. And we will all look on with eager excitement as the new Football Operations Center and additional seating begin to change the shape of Paulson Stadium. We will be witnessing a transformational moment in our history that will speak to student-athletes and fans for many, many years to come. The historical investments made to our facility infrastructure are the first steps to help Georgia Southern position itself for future success. We now turn our attention to our Athletic Department’s infrastructural needs, and what is required to ensure the support necessary for success in that area. The future holds the real potential of adding forty-four additional student-athlete scholarships that

will cause strains on the staffing component of our program and therefore must be addressed. We will embark on the “Champion the Champions – Double the Donor Base” campaign in January 2013. The goal is to raise an additional $1.5 million to support the Athletic Department’s operational budget. These additional funds will cover travel, recruiting and staffing needs. Our primary focus is to recruit, retain and train student-athletes. Tell a friend to get involved today as a donor to our Eagle Fund and help us accomplish this important goal. This past year has given us a great deal—the immense pride we have in the accomplishments of our student-athletes, and the wealth of gratitude we have for our donors who are helping to make a difference for so many deserving and talented young people. Our future is bright. We thank you!

Giving Categories Unrestricted Gifts

Contributions to the Eagle Fund are deposited into an unrestricted fund and used to help fulfill the scholarship needs of our student-athletes and the operational requirements of Georgia Southern’s athletic department.

Planned gifts may include bequests or beneficiary designations of insurance, for example. Other methods of planned giving may be discussed with your estate advisor. “The physical part of foot-
