How to Support UCLA Athletics and Student-Athletes

As you may know, an extra benefit is any special gift or arrangement provided to a student-athlete, or student-athlete’s family member or friend that is not otherwise available to the general student body. Benefits may not be provided by a UCLA donor, booster or fan directly to a student-athlete – All donations must go through UCLA Athletics, either through the Development Office or with advance approval from the Athletics Compliance Office.

What is the best way to support UCLA student-athletes under NCAA rules?

• Continue your financial support through the Wooden Athletic Club and/or other fundraising initiatives, including scholarship endowments and capital campaigns. • Estate and planned gifts, including gifts of property. • Buy season tickets and support Bruin teams from the stands. • Provide employment for a UCLA student-athlete. Such employment must be approved by the Compliance Office and compensation must be for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with similar jobs in the area. • “Ask before acting” – Contacting the Compliance Office with any questions you may have about NCAA rules.

All donors to UCLA Athletics and Wooden Athletic Fund members are defined as boosters under NCAA rules. Once identified as a booster, that status remains forever and NCAA rules will always apply to you. Therefore, “ask before acting” is an important way for all of us to keep UCLA student-athletes eligible and on the field, on the court or in the pool.

Questions about the above or NCAA rules? Please do not hesitate to contact Dan Goldberg, Assistant Athletic Director Compliance at (310) 794-8813 or dgoldberg@athletics.ucla.edu.

Individual Sport Giving Each of UCLA’s 25 intercollegiate athletics teams has a fund available for fans to directly support the programs about which they are most passionate. Every sport-specific gift is important and has a positive impact on each student-athlete on that team. As a donor, the benefits offered for gifts made to a specific sport vary by sport and gift amount. However, donors who contribute $25,000 or more to a single sport will also be recognized with non-seating Wooden Athletic Fund member benefits at the Director’s Circle level, and donors who contribute $50,000 or more to a single sport will be recognized with non-seating Wooden Athletic Fund member benefits at the John R. Wooden Benefactor level for that membership year. Wooden Athletic Fund benefits for priority season tickets are offered only for gifts directed specifically to the Wooden Athletic fund.

“My time at UCLA has been filled with wonderful experiences and countless opportunities on and off the field. Our gracious donors have presented us with the resources we need in order to succeed in everything we do. My teammates and I can't begin to thank them enough for their generosity and endless support. Being able to represent the Bruins is such an honor and privilege that I have dreamed of my entire life, and it was only made possible with the help of our amazing donors.”

Neema BarbodFinance Manager

What is your favorite college sport to follow? Football. What is your favorite pro sport to follow? Soccer. What is your favorite sport to play? Basketball and Pai Gow Poker. Since you began working at UCLA, what sport have you gotten to like that you never thought you would like? Water Polo and Gymnastics. What is your favorite kind of music? Favorite group, band, or

musician? Right now I have been listening to a combination of classic rock, a little soul and some bluegrass mixed in there. Favorite musician of all time would have to be the one and only King of Pop…Michael Jackson.Where would you like to travel to that you’ve never been to before? Dublin, Ireland to pay tribute to Arthur Guinness at St. James’s Gate.Cat person or dog person? Dogs.....English Bulldog. What was your high school mascot? Warriors. Unique fact about yourself? In the summer of 1995, I earned a perfect “10.0” from a panel of judges (my elementary school friends) at our local community pool for the perfect belly flop. I believe my perfect score is still the only 10.0 ever given out during summer vacation competition for the 10-12 year old age group.

Each senior student-athlete spoke about what made their time as members of the Bruin football team special to them. Attended by Wooden Athletic Fund, Then Now Forever Fund, and Wasserman Football Center donors, the evening was a wonderful way to kick off the 2016 season and hear Coach Mora’s inside preview of the upcoming season. Guests left the event with a souvenir UCLA Football pilsner glass.

All Bruin Olympians to Be Honored at Stanford Football Game – Sept. 24, 2016

The 36 UCLA-affiliated athletes and coaches who participated in the 2016 Rio Olympics returned home with many great stories, newfound friendships, and most important of all, nine medals — six of them gold! Incoming, current, and former Bruin student-athletes, as well as current and former coaches represented 11 countries — Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, and the United States.

UCLA’s rich Olympic history includes having at least one competitor in every Olympics since 1920 (with one exception) and has won a gold medal in every Olympics they have competed in since 1932. Bruin Olympians total 424, almost 300 of whom competed in multiple Olympics. After the 2016 Rio games, UCLA now has a count of 261 medals: 133 gold, 66 silver, and 62 bronze; ranking seventh among all universities.

To honor this great history and the Bruins who have competed, every UCLA Olympian has been invited to a weekend of festivities surrounding the UCLA vs. Stanford football game at the Rose Bowl on September 24, 2016. The weekend’s events will begin with a Friday night dinner held at a private residence in Brentwood. It will continue with a tailgate at an exclusive pregame hospitality area, entrance to the UCLA vs. Stanford football game, and will culminate in their being honored at halftime and recognized for their outstanding achievements as world-class Olympians.

For more information about the Olympians’ celebration and events, please call (310) 206-3302, or email development@athletics.ucla.edu.
