Give a Gift and Leave a Legacy Character, academics, spirituality and athletics. These words represent the core of Irish Athletics. This makes us different. As Fr. John Jenkins so eloquently stated, “Our difference is not a detriment. It is an asset that will make our contribution more distinctive, more exemplary, more valuable. We welcome the challenge.”

The Rockne Heritage Fund represents an opportunity to acknowledge those differences; to applaud, support and encourage the direction in which we are headed; to provide the resources our student-athletes need to compete at the very highest level; to ensure that the Notre Dame spirit lives on for generations.

Alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty and staff are among those who have generously supported the Rockne Heritage Fund and we are grateful.

In January our recognition society, the Director’s Circle, announced a second giving level: Irish Legends. We have generous donors who have made $5,000, $10,000 and $25,000 gifts who are now recognized at this new level.

Director’s Circle TRADITIONAL • $1,500-$4,999 annual gift qualifies you for a Traditional membership in the Director’s Circle.

IRISH LEGENDS • $5,000 minimum annual gift qualifies you for an Irish Legends membership in the Director’s Circle.

FOOTBALL TICKET BENEFIT • All Director’s Circle members receive a “special contributor status” in the football ticket lottery, with improved chances for success in obtaining tickets to multiple home football games. • Director’s Circle members at the Irish Legends level receive additional consideration in the football ticket lottery and also qualify for the parking pass lottery.

HOW TO MAKE A GIFT • Send a check payable to the Rockne Heritage Fund; P.O. Box 519; Notre Dame, IN 46556. • Make a gift online at supporting.nd.edu and include “Rockne Heritage Fund” in the comments section. • Specify if your employer has a matching gift program. • Notre Dame employees may request a payroll deduction form.
