To most of us, it’s something we do without thinking when we’re heading to the game. But for more than 550 ASU student-athletes, it means something much more. When all is said and done, a four-year lettermen will have given over 1600 hours on the field of competition, 1600 hours in the weight room, 1776 hours in the classroom, and another 1600 hours in study hall. That’s over 6500 hours of their college career they will have given for the opportunity to wear the Maroon and Gold.

They gladly make these sacrifices because they share in their hearts a burning desire to be champions. Not just champions on the field, but champions in the classroom and most importantly, champions in the game of life. For even after the final whistle has blown, these young men and women will always be Sun Devils.

Your gifts allow them the ability to wear the Maroon and Gold for only four seasons, but the lessons they learn will last a lifetime.
