Athletics Giving Fund

Dear Kentucky State University Athletics Family,

From the rhythm of the band to the energy in the locker room, there's nothing like the spirit of KSU Athletics. That spirit lives not only on our fields and courts but also in the unwavering support of alumni and friends who show up for us, time and time again. Whether it's with post-game meals on the road or helping us create a home-field atmosphere in opposing stadiums, your loyalty makes an undeniable impact. Will you help grow KSU Athletics?

This Year's Priorities:

Install a state-of-the-art video board at Alumni Field to elevate the game-day experience and engage fans like never before.
Completely renovate our locker rooms to provide our student-athletes with functional, modern spaces that inspire excellence.
Grow our athletics scholarship fund to ensure that deserving student-athletes—regardless of financial circumstance—can represent KSU with pride. These aren't just upgrades—they are statements of who we are and what we believe in. A new video board enhances the fan experience and adds excitement to every play. Beautiful, functional locker rooms show our student-athletes they belong and helps us to recruit the next generation of Thorobreds. Scholarships enable student-athletes to champion KSU both on the field and in the classroom.

Your Gift in Action: Every dollar makes a difference:

· $25 helps provide snacks and Gatorades as our student-athletes travel and study.
· $100 provides tape, bandages, gauze, ice bags, etc. for our student-athletes' safety.
· $500 will fund a matching-panel for our video board display.
· $2,500 helps equip one locker room suite and provides amenities.

Thanks to You—We're Already on Our Way:
Because of your continued generosity, we've already upgraded the playing surfaces in both Exum and Bell Gymnasiums, installed new digital press tables, replaced outdated basketball goals, added new bench seating, and invested in high quality volleyball equipment that allows us to host tournaments on our home court. We have also secured a three-year deal to play football in Puerto Rico and a two-year deal to play in the Detroit Football Classic against a school up north. This year, we want to go even bigger and we'll need your help.

Here's How You Can Help:

Let's continue to uplift every Thorobred who wears green and gold. Thank you for your belief in our vision.

With sincere appreciation,
