The University of Utah has received a $14 million estate gift from an anonymous donor to support women’s athletics programs, the school announced on Tuesday. This generous donation follows a previous $6 million donation from Harriet and Leo Hopf, specifically intended for Utah women’s athletics. The anonymous donor was inspired by the Hopfs’ generosity and their commitment to the cause.
Mark Harlan, the Utah athletic director, expressed his gratitude for the transformational gift, stating that future generations of students will benefit greatly from the donor’s generosity. The combined $20 million in donations for women’s sports will result in the creation of the Crimson Club Legacy Society, dedicated to honoring individuals and families who make charitable estate gifts to support the development of excellence in University of Utah student-athletes, coaches, and athletic programs.
The University of Utah is deeply appreciative of the generous donation, acknowledging the significant impact it will have on the university’s women’s athletics programs. This contribution will ensure the continued success and growth of women’s sports at the university for years to come. The establishment of the Crimson Club Legacy Society will further encourage individuals and families to support the university’s athletic programs through charitable estate gifts, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations of student-athletes.
