Lyons-Lademan Athletic Fund
Character, Passion, Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Leadership... These are the life-long attributes we cultivate in all our student-athletes. We have long recognized the important role sports play in the lives and development of healthy, well-rounded individuals. Our centralized Athletic department, housed in the state-of-the-art Thomas J. Walsh Jr. Athletic Center, trains Fairfield men and women to participate in 20 varsity sports and 16 club sports. There is a place for every student to experience the dedication of training, the anticipation and thrill of the game, and the critical life lessons of teamwork learned on a field, court, or track.
The Lyons-Lademan Athletic Fund was established in 1987 in honor of the memory of two special individuals who demonstrated the powerful role competitive athletics plays in the formation of the whole person. Rev. Thomas J. Lyons, S.J. served as the University's Athletic Director from 1952 to 1963. Jerry Lademan '75 was a true student-athlete who exemplified the ideals of teamwork and leadership to which Fairfield athletics aspire.
The Fund supports Fairfield's varsity and club team by providing funds that reach beyond the annual Athletics operating budget. Here are ways your gift helps Fairfield Athletics:
- Academics - Your gift helps provide academic support services for Fairfield's student scholars, including student financial aid packages and academic tutors.
- Budgetary Items - Your gift supports replacement equipment, travel gear, computerized equipment, and specialized purchases which frequently exceed the athletics budget.
- Body Conditioning - Healthy bodies and minds build winning teams. Your gift enables the University to provide its student-athletes with quality strength and conditioning training as well as top sports medicine treatment.
- Travel Opportunities - Trips to post-season tournaments are the norm for today's competitive college athletes. Your gift helps underwrite travel and accommodation expenses.
- Recruitment Efforts - Your gift helps Fairfield's coaches upgrade their recruiting efforts and build stronger teams for the future.
Gifts to the Lyons-Lademan Athletic Fund may be restricted to support a specific varsity or club team, intramural program, the general athletic fund, or athletic services such as sports medicine and sports information.
Over 1,900 Stag fans, friends and alumni support the Lyons-Lademan Athletic Fund. We invite you to join them to enhance Fairfield's athletics by making your gift online or through the mail today!
