Fundraising for Athletics

April 24 - 26, 2013
Newport Beach Marriott
Newport Beach, Calif., United States

Fundraising is vital to a successful athletics program. Without the appropriate funds, athletic programs can't maintain their momentum. Join us in California to review strategies for reaching your fundraising goals so that your program thrives and your institution benefits.

For the first time, CASE is partnering with the United States Olympic Committee for a special track focusing primarily on fundraising for non-revenue sports. Creating a robust collegiate sports infrastructure is critically important to the continued success of Team USA at the Olympic and Paralympic Games. This track will focus on generating support for the more under-exposed sports and will offer ideas that can be adapted for your own program's fundraising goals.

This conference is suggested for advancement professionals with mid- to senior-level responsibility.
