We had a core team get together with Mark Hayes of Orange United over the weekend and took the opportunity to debrief a bit. Mark has been thrilled to work with us and I have greatly valued his partnership and the administrative support OUC has provided as this initiative has grown well beyond the capabilities of one old guy with a bunch of home grown spreadsheets.
I've shared this data at tailgates but for those who haven't been in attendance, or missed the announcements we have now completed three years with this project. In that time, you have contributed in excess of $65,000, mostly through grass roots level donations of relatively modest value. These funds have gone to 41 different athletes in eight different sports and have ranged from high profile tailgate guests to walk on football players. Mark shared the story of starting soccer goalie Tomas Hut, who is not on scholarship and was able to use his appearance fees to cover books and supplies for the semester.
We will be meeting later this spring to discuss our 2025 plans and look forward to bigger and better things as we move forward.
If you have not yet contributed to Orange United you have the option of a monthly membership starting at $10.99 a month or a one time gift. Donations can be earmarked for any sport or can be general to go to the entire portfolio.
