UNLV Rebel Football Foundation Announces $1 Million Donation From UNLV Athletics

The UNLV Rebel Football Foundation received a major donation this week from the UNLV athletic department. They received a $1 million donation intended to enhance the nutritional needs of the Rebel football program. The foundation is set up to enhance the program through financial support as well as capital improvements. It also assists with academic achievements as well as athletics.

Everyone involved is proud of the donation and recently spoke about not only the donation, but the contributions of the foundation and the impact that it has had on the football program. We heard from UNLV athletic director Erick Harper, head football coach Dan Mullen, and former Rebels great and foundation president Casey Flair. All of which were thrilled about the big investment.

"The UNLV Rebel Football Foundation is honored to carry on our tradition of supporting UNLV Athletics and championing the ongoing success of UNLV Football. This contribution will make a direct impact on our student-athletes, helping them fuel both their minds and bodies for peak performance – on the field and in the classroom."

The foundation has proven to be a major contributor to the Rebels. You can see their impact when it comes to their facilities and academic achievements that they've been consistently awarded for throughout this and all offseasons in recent memory. It appears to still be going strong since being established in 1987 and not showing any signs of slowing down.
