Donovan Reichenberger Fundraising Award

RYAN BOWEN HEAD BASEBALL COACH NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY

Established in 2010 by the Northwestern Foundation & Alumni Association, the Donovan Reichenberger Fundraising Award recognizes the private fundraising efforts of Northwestern Oklahoma State University faculty and staff. Named for Reichenberger and his example of generosity and fundraising service, the award honors an individual who seeks to further the mission and vision of the university, allowing continued prosperity during a critical time of diminishing state support.

Ryan Bowen was awarded in 2020 for his fundraising efforts for Ranger Baseball. He has raised an average of $30,000 for his program in the three years he has been head coach at Northwestern. Bowen took the lead in securing baseball hitting software, which is used to improve student athletes' batting performances. Additionally, he has led letter writing campaigns and three online crowd-funding campaigns, managed multiple baseball camps and directed the Dugout Club Golf tournament each fall.

In every capacity, Bowen has admirably represented his program and Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
