YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics announced today, July 28, it broke another all-time fundraising record in fiscal year 2020 (July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020), building momentum in a multi-year trend of raising the bar in development.
More than $9,800,000 was raised thanks to the generosity of alumni, fans and friends supporting 450+ student-athletes competing for the Green and White. These totals include donations made or pledged toward the Eastern Athletic Fund, sport-specific crowdfunding efforts, capital projects and legacy giving.
"Fiscal year '20 shifted drastically in March when COVID-19 changed the world as we know it," EMU Vice President/Director of Athletics Scott Wetherbee said.
