1985 • 1990 • 1997 • 2002 NCAA Champions 55 Wooden Athletic Fund/Athletic Endowment The UCLA Athletics Campaign has endowed 206 of the 282 NCAA allowable athletic grants-in-aid. UCLA Athletics expresses its sincere gratitude to the individuals listed for their support in the continuing effort to distinguish UCLA as the nation’s premier academic and athletics institution. An endowment generates income to the University in perpetuity. By investing the gift principal and using just the interest earned to help meet the cost of a grant-in-aid assures the Athletic Department of on-going funds to maintain the quality and diversity of its program. Currently, UCLA provides financial assistance to over 400 student- athletes participating in 24 intercollegiate sports. However, expenses such as the cost of tuition for student-athletes have increased dra- matically in the last several years while department revenues have remained relatively stable. Tax-deductible gifts to the Wooden Athletic Fund play a pivotal role in meeting the escalating costs of team travel, recruiting, equipment replacement and, most importantly, in providing athletic scholarships. Now more than ever, private support is necessary if UCLA is to maintain its position as the best athletic program in the country. Your help is truly needed and greatly appreciated. To encourage private support of our program, the best football and basketball tickets are allocated to our most generous donors. Members of the Wooden Athletic Fund receive priority in the assignment of tickets for home contests in the Rose Bowl and in Pauley Pavilion in accordance with the UCLA Priority Seating Policy. Please refer to the donor benefits chart to determine season ticket opportunities. In many cases, special reserved parking is also available for our donors. If you have any questions regarding the Wooden Athletic Fund or the benefits members receive, please contact the Athletic Development Office at 310/206-3302.
