"Utes with Wings has provided our women's programs the opportunity to grow and succeed in areas that are sometimes overlooked, or under-appreciated.," said Nona Richardson, Senior Associate Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator/OEO Title IX Liaison. "With continued support, our student-athletes will benefit from locker room enhancements, team development and technology advancement. Dedicated gifts to Utes with Wings, positions our women's teams to compete at the highest level in the Pac 12, vie for championships and advance to NCAA postseason."
America First Credit Union, along with Brent and Ann Wilson, donated $100,000 to kick-start the program in 2018. Each year since then, the program has been able to support Utah's female teams with items and experiences they might have not have had access to before.
Gymnastics and softball were able to go on a team retreat before their seasons began. Volleyball received new pieces of furniture for their locker room as well as beach volleyball nets.
Track & field was able to purchase heart rate monitors while skiing purchased new helmets and goggles for their incoming freshmen and newcomers to the team. Otherwise, those individuals would have needed to either to bring their own equipment or use outdated models.
With the Utah women's programs continuing to have outstanding success in their respective arenas of competition, as well as the classroom, now is the time to show your support for these outstanding student-athletes. Your support will help provide funding for team building exercises and retreats, foreign and domestic travel, facility enhancement and overall program development.
When you give to Utes with Wings, you are directly helping to provide the ultimate experience for Utah female student-athletes.
