Donor Spotlight: Ricky Crews

September Donor of the Month

Ricky Crews is the September Donor of the Month! We appreciate the support and Argonaut athletics loyalty. Read the reasons for his generous contributions to UWF Athletics. 
 

  • Why do you give to UWF Athletics?

I really enjoy supporting UWF Athletics because it gives me a sense of participation.  I am a 1982 alumni of UWF and we didn't have a very big athletic department when I was a student and I remember that.  Athletics is a very important part of the University and will allow the University to grow in the future, and not just in athletics.  Having top notch athletic programs gives current students a sense of pride and builds a legacy that makes UWF a desirable atmosphere for future students to attend.
 

  • Why do you continue to give annually?

So that UWF continues to have the necessary resources to meet the needs of its student athletes today and tomorrow.
 

  •  What would you say is the best thing about being a donor to UWF Athletics? 

The sense of pride I get when I mention our competitive successes to friends and colleagues.  Our athletes have won several national and conference championships over the years and I am very proud of the University and it's athletes.  By giving a little I feel I am helping sustain these programs for the long haul and that is good for the University and our community too!
 

  •  What makes you passionate about UWF Athletics? 
Again, the sense of pride of our athletic programs.
 
  • Anything else you'd like to add? For instance, a proud moment as an Argo fan or an experience you really enjoyed.

I recently participated in the UWF Golf teams fundraiser tournament.  It was a unique experience because I got to meet several of the student athletes and some of the AD staff as well.  I am grateful for that opportunity and look forward to participating in many more UWF Athletic events.
