Washington Uses Special Campaign to Build Softball Stadium Lights

December 4, 2009 Capital Campaigns, Facilities No Comments

UWblock_logoThis past year, the Washington Huskys Women’s Softball Team captured the NCAA crown in a thrilling victory over Florida in the national championship. This December, the school announced the installation of lights at the softball field, giving the team a chance to play under the lights, as well as offering the school the ability to host NCAA Championship events.

The installation of lights at softball fields in one facility upgrade many schools are seeking. Washington is now reaping the benefits of their title run while also enhancing their current and future student-athlete’s experience on campus.

The school launched a special fundraising campaign entitled, “Let Their Be Lights,” which enabled the donors to contribute to the cause, which raised the $475,000 needed for the installation. This specialized campaign targeted specifically at an olympic sport shows the ability to raise money for all sports in a department and enhance the experience of a special group of student-athletes.
