FROm The DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
Dear Red Wolves Fans,
On behalf of A-State Athletics, I want to thank you for your loyal support. This is an exciting time to be part of the Red Wolves
Nation and we are extremely proud of the success our student-athletes and teams have achieved over the past year. As a
member of the Red Wolves Foundation, you should be proud, too.
Thanks in large part to the continued generous support of our annual Red Wolves Foundation members, we have had many
successes this year. each year we are challenged with providing the resources needed to fund our 16 NCAA Division-I sports.
Your support plays a pivotal part in the success of our program and our student-athletes, and we’re grateful for your
commitment to help our athletics department emerge.
Your support continues to provide us with the ability to offer our 350-plus student-athletes the best collegiate experience,
while also preparing them for life after college. All the way from our facility improvements to academic support, we are
committed to being one of the top athletics programs among our peers in the “Group of Five” conferences. In order to
accomplish these goals, we must grow our annual fund, season ticket holder base and enhance our facilities.
Please take time to review all information in the membership guide, including the updated parking and giving levels.
Thank you again for the loyal support and passion you have for our program.
GO RED WOLVES AND ALWAyS RISING!!

PRIORITy POINT SYSTem
The Red Wolves Foundation is based on a priority point system that
helps fairly allocate donor benefits such as premium seating, chairback
seating location, bowl game and other post-season ticket benefits.
Donors receive points primarily based upon the consecutive number of
years they have given to the Red Wolves Foundation, as well as the total
cumulative contributions they have made. This rewards a donor’s longevity
and gift amount when establishing priorities. With the point total, the Red
Wolves Foundation can “rank” all donors within each giving category.
