Dear Former Aggie Players, Coaches, Staff and Fans, There is something truly magical about Cache Valley and it just keeps pulling us back there time after time. If you are like me, your years at Utah State University were some of the best years of your life. When I think of my college experience, my mind is filled with fond memories of campus life, playing football, teammates, coaches, classmates and friends. I bet you feel the very same way. USU has given us all so much and now, it's our turn to give something back. On behalf of the former Aggie football players, coaches, staff and fans who are in some way connected to the Chuck Mills Football Era at Utah State, I have accepted the challenge of leading an effort to raise $400,000. The money we raise will be used to complete the offices for the Assistant Football Coaches and the office of the Head Athletic Trainer in the North End Zone Complex, which is now under construction. Construction of the North End Zone Complex is a bold, transformational initiative that will help usher in a new era at Utah State. Without question, these much-needed facilities will significantly reinvigorate Aggie Athletics. The new facilities are state-of-the-art and will provide a tremendous boost in our ability to care for the physical, medical and academic needs of our athletes and coaches As you know, there is intense competition to recruit, train and retain the most talented student-athletes. If USU is to attract and keep the best however, it is essential that we provide our student-athletes with facilities that are comparable to--if not better than--what they would be offered at other colleges and universities. Recruiting talent is critical to the future success of Aggie Athletics. Completing the North End Zone Complex will be a big step in the right direction. "Go Aggies" has always been the rallying cry for those who support athletics at Utah State University. The athletic achievements and academic accomplishments of USU's student-athletes provide national recognition for USU and are a great source of pride to Aggie fans everywhere. The prospects for future success by Aggie teams will be greatly enhanced by the utilization of these new facilities. My wife Connie and I have made a contribution to this project and sincerely ask that you join us by making a generous gift yourself to help us reach our $400,000 goal. I look forward to discussing your participation in this fund raising effort with you. I can be contacted by email, or at one of the telephone numbers listed below. Go Aggies!
