This spring, our graduate students headed to Spain for our Sport Business Immersion trip, with front row seats to a FC Barcelona match at Camp Nou! Each year, our department ranks among the very top of all UMass Amherst departments and groups in terms of both participation and total gifts raised – a testament to the loyalty, passion and connectedness of our alums! This year, our ambitious goal is to rally over 150 donors and raise $25,000 --- please help us get there by making a gift today.
Thanks to a generous challenge from Neal '92 MS and Becca Huntington, every 30 gifts unlocks $1,000 in support of the department—up to $5,000! Support what you love about McCormack and amplify your impact!
Every donation, no matter the size, is a step forward in our mission. Your participation is a testament to your belief in our students and their potential to reshape the sports industry.
