INTRODUCTION On behalf of our student-athletes, coaches and staff, thank you for considering a gift to Texas Tech Athletics! Our overarching goal continues to be the best collegiate athletics program in the country. This goal will not change. As we have previously said, when we ride together there is no program that has greater fan support or passion. Your past, present and future commitment is the greatest strength of our athletics program. In the past two years, we have witnessed Big 12 Championships in women’s tennis and men’s track and field. We have seen women’s track and field student-athlete Ify Okafor crowned as NCAA Woman of the Year (the first in conference history to achieve this honor), celebrated our women’s soccer team advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16, and made our first historic baseball trip to Omaha under the leadership of Tim Tadlock. We are confident that with your support, we will celebrate many more accomplishments in the coming years – both on and off the playing fields. By investing in the Red Raider Club and providing for our future through the Campaign for Fearless Champions, you will be directly impacting over 400 student-athletes that represent Texas Tech University in competition across 17 sports. Take pride in knowing that with each Academic All-American, touchdown scored, and every victory, you played a vital role in providing the tools necessary for these achievements. Thank you once again for your support, passion, and commitment to our great university, as we strive – To Educate, Serve, and Grow Fearless Champions.
