May Donor Spotlight

General

Donor Spotlight: Angela Rodgers

Why do you give to UWF Athletics?
I give to UWF athletics as it allows for better resources for students, both on and off the court/field. In addition to improved facilities, equipment, and rehabilitation needs. Why do you continue to give annually? I like knowing that I'm making a difference for the student athletes at UWF. I especially like when a specific need is accomplished and realizing, "Hey, I helped with that!"

 What would you say is the best thing about being a donor to UWF athletics? 
 The best thing about being a donor to UWF athletics is knowing that you are a part of a tightknit community that makes a difference in the lives of student athletes and their fans. 

 What makes you passionate about UWF Athletics?
I am passionate about UWF athletics as it makes me feel like a part of the athletes lives. There is a certain kind of pride that comes with being able to give your money and time to improve the lives of others – and that's why I do it. 

 Anything else you'd like to add? 
 I think my favorite part of giving to UWF athletics is the Pack-it-Pink Volleyball Tournament (see pic).  I love when we hand over that big check at the end of the match. I have grieved family members that have lost their lives to cancer. But that night, I go home knowing that we will make a difference in the life of someone dealing with that disease.
