LAST YEAR: OVER $1 MILLION RAISED FOR SPARTAN STUDENT-ATHLETES!

Dear Spartan Supporters,

We are thrilled and deeply grateful for how the Spartan community came together to share life-changing stories, support one another, and achieve an incredible milestone—raising over $1 million. This is simply amazing for a small charity.

We are so blessed to have all of you, the ‘Team Behind the Teams,’ who attended, watched the livestream, and donated to support student-athletes. A heartfelt thank you also goes out to everyone who worked tirelessly to make this event a reality.

We are especially grateful to our corporate partners, team families, supporters, and donors who contributed to our largest-ever $400,000 matching fund. Your generosity inspired others to give and helped make this milestone possible.

It’s exciting to invest in student-athletes, watch them grow and develop, and see them become the leaders of tomorrow. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

– Steve Scholz, Spartan Foundation Executive Director
