Tennessee Fund 25th Anniversary
As we prepare for another year of our annual Fund Drive, we want to start off by saying thank you to all of our Fund Drive
Workers for your hard work toward last year’s record campaign. 2009-2010 marked one of the most successful years ever for
the Fund Drive in for raising new contributions to the Tennessee Fund. This would not have been possible without your hard
work and dedication in helping us make Tennessee great.
This year, we hope to continue to build upon last year’s great success. In order to do this, we once again need your help. Fund
Drive Kick-off meetings are currently underway, and our staff looks forward to visiting you and discussing the latest updates in
Tennessee Athletics. Each year provides its own challenges and opportunities, and we are excited about 2010-11 as we all
strive to continue the tradition of excellence that is Tennessee Athletics!
2011 Fund Drive Begins!
The Tennessee Fund is celebrating its 25th year during the
2011 calendar year. Since its inception in 1986, donors
have contributed over $450 million through the Tennessee
Fund in support of Tennessee student-athletes. This
accomplishment could have never taken place without the
passion and the pride of our loyal Tennessee fans.
In an effort to celebrate this achievement, our office will be
organizing a variety of promotions and activities during the
upcoming year. For now, we are excited to announce two
special priority point offers for the 2010-11 year!
Double priority points will be awarded for all annual
gifts received by March 1, 2011
All donors who increase their annual gift by 25% for
2011 will receive a one-time 25 point bonus (equivalent
point bonus of a $2,500 gift!)
Special events and newsletters celebrating the past 25 years
of the Tennessee Fund are also being planned. Please be on
the lookout for the latest 25th anniversary news during this
upcoming year!
Shown above are Fund Drive Workers who were recognized on the field during
halftime of the football game against Oregon. These Fund Drive Workers each
raised over $20,000 during the 2010 Fund Drive. Congratulations to these Fund
Drive Workers!!

Facility Project Updates
Thank you to everyone who attended this fall’s Fund Drive
Training Camp. The event was a great success as attendees
were treated to tours of the Lindsey Nelson Baseball
Stadium renovations and the future site of the Football
Training Center. Tennessee legend Gus Manning was also
one of the guest speakers and shared stories from his
experiences over the years with the group.
