This year's total is also a record high for the fund drive. Approximately 40 volunteers solicited phone contributions from April 19 through May 14. It starts under the leadership of President Elson Floyd and Athletic Director Kathy Beauregard and is a reflection of the coaches and athletes.
Much credit goes to the hard work of the volunteers.
The Gary Fund was founded in 1956 and is a source of revenue for WMU's 20 varsity sports. Proceeds are used in providing scholarships, travel support and equipment needs.
