This document is a letter from the president of Lafayette College's Maroon Club asking for donations to support the college's 23 Division I athletic programs. Last year, over 2,200 donors contributed a record $1.76 million and this year's goal is to raise $1.8 million from 2,500+ donors. Donations support things like assistant coaches' salaries, recruiting and travel budgets, equipment, training facilities, and leadership opportunities for student-athletes.

The success of Lafayette’s 23-sport Division I athletic program relies on the
generous support of alumni, parents, and friends. We thank the 2,200+ donors
who contributed a record $1.76 million to the Maroon Club last year. This year’s
goal is to raise $1.8 million from 2,500+ donors. Please join me in continuing
to support our student-athletes and the great Leopard athletic tradition.
