Forever Champions Endowment Opportunities There are many ways of giving to UCLA Athletics, one of which is the Forever Champions initiative. This program allows a donor to establish an endowment to provide perpetual support for either a student-athlete scholarship or the operations of a specific sport or program. The Forever Champions program is comprised of two types of endowments: Scholarship Endowments and Program Endowments.

• A Scholarship Endowment is applied to student-athlete scholarships, allowing you to create an everlasting endowment directed to the sport of your choice. When you make a scholarship endowment gift starting at $125,000, you automatically earn LIFETIME Wooden Athletic Fund annual membership credit at 5% of your endowed gift amount. For example, if you establish an endowment at $125,000, you will receive 5%, or $6,250, annual WAF credit for life, and so on.

Other benefits for Forever Champions endowment donors include being paired with a UCLA student-athlete each academic year in the sport to which your endowment has been directed. Your name will be displayed in the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame, and you will receive invitations to Scholarship Donor Dinners that are exclusive to endowment donors and their respective student-athletes only.

• A Program Endowment, once established, is applied to supplement sport-specific budgets, providing much needed support to whichever sport program you choose, which is used at the discretion of that program’s head coach. When you create a Scholarship Endowment or Program Endowment, your name will forever be linked to a championship tradition, while making a direct impact on future generations of UCLA student-athletes and ensuring their futures.

For more information regarding the Forever Champions program, please call (310) 206-3302, or email development@athletics.ucla.edu.

“As a child I dreamt of being a Bruin, I dreamt of playing under the lights in Pauley, I dreamt of celebrating on the court with my best friends after a big win, and I dreamt of getting a diploma from UCLA. I knew that attaining this dream would require a lot of hard work on my end but what I was not aware of was all of the people who would influence, shape and enhance my UCLA career. To our donors, thank you for making all of my dreams not only a possibility but a reality.”

What is your favorite part of the new academic year beginning at UCLA?

Nathan Anderson: “My favorite part of a new academic beginning starting at UCLA is the energy and excitement that is brought back to campus! It’s especially fun to have so many students back in attendance at the Rose Bowl.”Neema Barbod: “The campus feels alive with the new students arriving. Campus tends to be a little quieter during the summer, not so much foot tra�c. I love seeing all the new students and welcoming back all the returning students.”Gina Garrett: “My favorite part is the campus coming alive with possibilities, adventures and projects with the air heavy with hope and wonder.” Kat Lauer: : “My favorite part of the new academic year is welcoming all of the UCLA student-athletes back to school at the Welcome Back Picnic (presented by Wescom)!” Emily Lerner: “My favorite part is hearing the bands and speakers on Bruin Walk.”Jill Machuca: “I love the loud music and constant activity on Bruin Walk. The school comes alive!”Parker Poliako�: “My favorite part of the new academic year is all of the new students on campus who are excited to attend their first UCLA sporting event as part of the Den!” Josh Rebholz: “The energy on campus is phenomenal. Some of the brightest kids on the planet come to UCLA. And we can feed o� of that.” Zack Rosenfeld: “My favorite part is hearing the marching band practice the “Sons of Westwood” on the IM Field!”Lydell Sargeant: “My favorite part of the new academic year is the energy and excitement the students bring back to campus. It is particularly exciting for our new UCLA student-athletes to interact academically and socially with their student peers and truly experience what makes UCLA the #1 public University in the country.” Brian Smith: “I always enjoy the energy the students bring when they arrive on campus for fall quarter. There’s nothing better than seeing a packed student section at the Rose Bowl or any of our on-campus sporting events. The noise, the yells, the 8-Claps and our UCLA student-athletes feed o� their passion. Here’s to a great 2018-19 year to come … Go BRUINS!”Kate Sommer: “My favorite part of the new academic year is seeing all the fresh faces and experiencing the energy they bring. It creates much excitement for what is to come this year!” Taylor Swearingen: “I love the reinfusion of optimism and energy to the campus.
