The University of Maryland Athletic Department and Terrapin Club have received a generous $10 million philanthropic commitment in support of the Maryland Men’s Basketball program. The donor, who chose to remain anonymous, hopes to inspire others to support Maryland Athletics and the Terrapin Club. This donation will establish a program-support endowment to help fund the operational needs of the men’s basketball program in perpetuity.
Damon Evans, the Barry P. Gossett Director of Athletics, expressed gratitude for the donor’s contribution, stating that philanthropic support is essential for the success and growth of Maryland Athletics. This gift follows a previous $18 million donation from Steve Schanwald, with $10 million designated for Maryland Athletics. The $10 million donation is one of the largest gifts in Maryland Athletics history and is the second recent $10 million commitment made to the Athletic Department.
Investments in programs like basketball not only benefit the current student-athletes but also ensure a lasting legacy of excellence for future generations.
