BROOKINGS, S.D. - South Dakota State's Jackrabbit Club surpassed $3 million in donations in one fiscal year for the first time in history, university officials announced Tuesday.
"Both the Jackrabbit Club and Jackrabbit Athletic Scholarship Auction surpassed $3 million for the first time in history this year," SDSU Director of Athletics Justin Sell said. "That is an incredible testament to the loyalty of Jackrabbit Nation and our supporters' commitment to our success in the classroom and in competition. Thank you to our donors and fans for their dedication to making an impact on our programs."
The Jackrabbit Club has now surpassed $2 million for the fourth consecutive year. Annual membership in the Jackrabbit Club remains the most fundamental way to support SDSU student-athletes, with the annual fund supporting SDSU Athletics scholarship funding. Each dollar donated to the Jackrabbit Club is a direct investment in Jackrabbit student-athletes.
"Changes at the national level over the last year have allowed more opportunities to provide student-athletes with scholarship support," said Ryan Christy, SDSU's Senior Associate AD for Development. "Jackrabbit Nation's response to this opportunity is just another reminder how special our community is. We are grateful for their continued trust and loyalty."
In addition to supporting student-athlete scholarships, Jackrabbit Club members enjoy a host of benefits throughout the athletics calendar. Benefits include priority parking and seating at Jackrabbit home games, inside access to their favorite SDSU programs, invitations to exclusive events, discounts at select local businesses and more.
