SALT LAKE CITY -
The University of Utah athletics department has announced several moves in the area of athletics fundraising.
Manny Hendrix, a member of Utah athletics staff for 16 years and a former Utah basketball player and Dallas Cowboy, has been promoted to Assistant Athletics Director for Major Gifts. Hendrix began his administrative career as the Manager of Athletic Relations in 1994. In 2007, he was promoted to Director of Major Gifts. In his new role as an assistant athletics director, Hendrix will oversee fundraising efforts for facilities and scholarships.
Mark Anderson accepted a position as Director of Major Gifts in the fall, returning to his alma mater after 18 years in fundraising, marketing and public relations at Idaho State and Central Washington University. Anderson's primary responsibility will be soliciting private contributions for facilities such as the Dee Glen Smith Football Center renovation and the construction of a new softball field and outdoor tennis courts.
Zack Lassiter, Utah's Assistant Athletics Director for Revenue Generation, has assumed additional duties with the Crimson Club. Along with supervising Utah's athletic ticket sales and operations, Lassiter will also oversee the annual fund as it relates to the areas of athletic scholarships and operating costs. He came to Utah as the director of ticket operations in 2005 and was promoted to assistant athletics director a year later.
