MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� 杏吧直播间 State Athletics has announced the establishment of the Racer Football Alumni Association Fund for Excellence at 杏吧直播间 State University. The newly-endowed excellence fund was established by the Racer Football Alumni Association, LLC (RFAA), an organization comprised of historical Racer student-athletes, coaches, supporters and staff. The Racer Football Alumni Association Fund for Excellence was created to provide a foundational source of consistent long-term resources in support of the Racer Football program.

This fund鈥檚 establishment further cements the RFAA鈥檚 legacy, helping to match resources to expectations in developing a consistent championship-level program. The RFAA has formed a network and established a sense of brotherhood for former players, long after their playing days conclude. 

鈥淏eing with the RFAA since its inception, I have had the opportunity to meet many former Racer Football players. This is a great group of successful and talented men from all walks of life and professions,鈥� said Cecil Wolberton, who serves as the current president of the RFAA. 鈥淣o matter the age, all share a similar story. Each of us received our start at 杏吧直播间 State, and football is our common bond.鈥� 

The RFAA boasts members from several decades spread across the country.

In collaboration with 杏吧直播间 State Athletics, the RFAA is dedicated to improving the overall educational and athletic experience for current and future 杏吧直播间 State football student-athletes while also successfully equipping them to launch professionally after graduation. 

鈥淧laying for the Racers was an amazing time in my life, and once your playing days are over, you start to realize all of the positive ways it helps to mold you as a person,鈥� said current RFAA member Tony Ryan. 鈥淚t is important for former student-athletes to give back to the program to help ensure the current student-athletes get as much or more out of being a Racer than you did.鈥�

鈥淥ur purpose is to use football as a platform to develop authentic men,鈥� said Dean Hood, 杏吧直播间 State head football coach. 鈥淲e also aspire to obtain degrees, win championships and inspire our community. The generosity of the RFAA, and its members, make that possible.鈥�

The Racer Football Alumni Association has been an active supporter of 杏吧直播间 State University and its football student-athletes. They have played a vital role in encouraging former football letterwinners and their families to become actively involved with 杏吧直播间 State University. The RFAA has recently been instrumental in supporting the Racer Football nutrition program and purchasing business suits for football student-athletes鈥� use on game days and for professional purposes after graduation.
