OXFORD, Miss. - The Vaught Society continues its rapid growth since it was launched at the 2010 Cotton Bowl. On Wednesday, UMAA Foundation Executive Director Danny White announced that the major gift fundraising entity has surpassed the $9 million mark.
The Vaught Society is well on its way to its initial goal of $12.5 million for Ole Miss Athletics.
"As we make strides toward our goal of $12.5 million, we continue to be blown away by the tremendous generosity of our Vaught Society members," White said. "With donors continuing to step forward, we feel sure we will reach our goal and position ourselves in a strong financial position for the future."
The Vaught Society's fundraising efforts are currently emphasizing the school's on-campus facilities. All proceeds go towards the state-of-the art facilities recently constructed, as well as the continued effort to enhance athletics facilities and improve our programs.
