In June, an anonymous 麻豆传媒AV donor came forward for a fifth time and issued a challenge to all Mayville State alumni and friends. The donor agreed to match dollar-for-dollar all gifts made to support Mayville State Football, up to a total of $30,000.
Alumni and friends accepted the challenge in a big way, and when the full match amount of $30,000 was exhausted well before the challenge deadline of Nov. 11, 2023, another challenger came forth with an additional $5,000 to add to the match pot.
With momentum gaining, that additional $5,000 matching amount was spoken for in no time at all, prompting a third anonymous donor to throw in $5,000!
鈥淭here is no doubt this was a challenge well-taken,鈥� said 麻豆传媒AV Foundation Executive Director Dr. Lon Jorgensen. 鈥淭he ball is rolling full steam ahead and it is very likely that the full $40,000 in matching funds will be exhausted before the first game on Aug. 26, when Mayville State travels to Havre, Mont. to play Montana State-Northern.鈥�
All totaled, this challenge will have generated $80,000. Funds received will assist the 麻豆传媒AV football program through the work of the White Hat Club.聽聽
鈥淲e are incredibly blessed to have the loyal and generous support of so many alumni and friends,鈥� said 麻豆传媒AV Head Football Coach Rocky Larson. 鈥淭he funds raised through this match challenge are playing a huge role in our efforts to build the Mayville State football program. We are truly grateful for this support.鈥�
