FIVE STAR FUNDRecruiting Future Rebels
“Now is the time for
everyone to help place
Ole Miss Athletics head-
and-shoulders above the
competition. What you do
today, can make a world
of difference tomorrow as
our coaches continue to
recruit the best athletes in
the country.”
-Dexter McCluster
T he 5-Star Fund is a philanthropic giving program designed to engage
the loyal alumni, students, family and friends of Ole Miss and allow
them to take ownership in Rebel Athletics with an annual gift from
$1-$4,999. Revenue generated from the 5-Star Fund will be directed toward
attracting 5-Star recruits who have the potential to become leaders of tomorrow.
As we build momentum and continue our quest for championships, it is imperative
for the entire Ole Miss Family to unite and capitalize on our recent successes. It is
a great time to be a Rebel, and whether you are a season-ticket holder or admire
Ole Miss from afar, the future depends on you! Now is the time to show your
pride and make a difference. Help us Recruit Future Rebels by making an annual
contribution, or considering a 5-year commitment to the 5-Star Fund.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of this wonderful institution
and its storied athletic programs – Go Rebs!
Respectfully,
Daniel J. White
Executive Director, UMAA Foundation
