Support UToledo Athletics' 2021 Day of Giving Efforts
TOLEDO, Ohio – As part of The University of Toledo's fourth annual Day of Giving on Wednesday, April 7, the Rocket Athletic Department is encouraging alumni, fans, family and friends to participate in its Day of Giving efforts. Donations to the Athletic Department Progress Fund will go towards the Refueling the Rockets campaign to help offset the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, support opportunities for students and to support athletic programs for our 400 student-athletes in 16 varsity sports.
Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O'Brien said support for the Refueling the Rockets campaign has helped offset the decline in revenue this past year due to the elimination of ticket sales at home games and the loss of revenues typically associated with hosting those events, such as sponsorships, advertising, concession sales, etc.
