Overview
The move to the BIG EAST Conference has brought an unprecedented amount of national attention to Creighton University and the athletic department. As a member of the BIG EAST Conference, Creighton student-athletes are experiencing opportunities that once seemed impossible. This new level of competition has required Creighton Athletics to commit additional resources due to the rising costs of scholarships, escalating travel expenses, capital projects and staffing requirements.
The widespread impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has placed increased stress on an already meager budget. To learn more about Creighton Athletics' response to the pandemic, the Bluejays Persevere Fund, please visit https://bluejayspersevere.com/.
The new major gifts program includes a number of new initiatives including the BIG EAST Fund, Creighton Athletic Endowment Fund and the Heritage Society-Creighton University's planned giving program. The program also features current athletic capital projects such as the Championship Center, Golf Learning Facility, Jensen Family Lounge and the Kitty Gaughan Pavilion renovations. An electronic brochure that features in depth information on the major gifts program is included below.
"We are excited to grow our development outreach program. With the help and support of major gifts, we can ensure that our student-athletes will receive the resources necessary to be successful in the classroom, on the playing field and in the community. This major gifts program will help us grow the next generations of champions by ensuring that Creighton Athletics remains competitive with our BIG EAST peers and stays nationally relevant," says Director of Athletics Bruce Rasmussen.
