Heritage Sports Reunion
September 15-16, 2023
Last weekend we had the pleasure of hosting the University of Arizona’s Heritage Sports Reunion. We had letterwinners from our heritage sports: Wrestling, Synchronized Swimming, Field Hockey, Badminton, Rifle, Men’s Gymnastics, and Water Polo! Thank you to everyone who attended, found their way back home, and shared their little piece of UArizona history with us! BearDown for Life!
Extra Yard for Teachers
This month at our (winning!) home football game versus UTEP we celebrated our Letterwinners turned Educators with our Extra Yard for Teachers Big Day on field recognition. This year's winners, Marcus Benjamin (football ‘09-‘11), Orlando Rodriquez (football ‘98-‘99), Kaity Harris (soccer ‘04-‘08), and William Golden (‘00-‘02) received $1,650 to put towards their classrooms from the CFP Foundation. One additional Letterwinner, Leslee Briggs (track and field ‘89-‘92) received a $1000 gift card from DonorsChoose.org to put towards her classroom. We loved recognizing our amazing Letterwinners and we thank them for all they do for the next generation! Congratulations Educators and Bear Down For Life!
