AKRON, Ohio - In celebration of our storied tradition of women's sports, The University of Akron athletics department is proud to announce a fundraising initiative to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX. To honor the commitment of our female student-athletes both past and present, we are seeking 50 supporters to make a gift of $900 or more to enhance our women's sports programs.

"Title IX allows our female student-athletes an opportunity to pursue their academic and professional dreams. I truly believe they are an asset to our community and their impact on the future of Akron Athletics is endless," said Director of Athletics Charles Guthrie.
