Join the Academic Sports Challenge for Basketball
The George A. Smathers Libraries, along with the support of men’s head basketball coach Billy Donovan and women’s head coach Amanda Butler, encourage gator football fans to help maintain and grow the services of the libraries by pledging for every successful three-pointer in the 2012-2013 Florida basketball season.
Pledges can range from 20 cents to $10 or more. Those who pledge can even designate which library or collection they would like their donation to support or choose to fund the libraries’ greatest needs. Based upon the 2011-2012 Florida basketball season, the men’s team made 307 three-point shots and the women made 156. At $.20 per successful three point shot, your pledge would have been $61.40 for the men’s team and $31.20 for the women’s.
Funds received from the “Academic Sports Challenge” will allow the Smathers Libraries to purchase library resources to meet learning and instructional needs of all students, including student athletes and scholarship recipients. Learn more…
