Wyoming Football Launches “Step Forward” Fundraising Campaign

The University of Wyoming (UW) Athletics Department and the Cowboy Joe Club have launched the “Step Forward” fundraising campaign, aiming to bolster revenue-sharing efforts and enhance the Wyoming football program’s ability to compete at a high level. The initiative has already secured $250,000 in commitments and seeks to reach a total of $500,000 by the end of spring football practice on April 25th.

Campaign Kickoff and Initial Contributions

The campaign was initiated with a $125,000 commitment from Head Football Coach Jay Sawvel. This contribution was immediately matched by an anonymous donor, bringing the initial total to $250,000 [1]. Coach Sawvel’s donation underscores his dedication to the program’s success and provides a strong foundation for broader fundraising efforts.

Purpose of the “Step Forward” Campaign

The “Step Forward” campaign is specifically designed to support football revenue-sharing initiatives. These efforts are crucial for strengthening the program’s financial stability and ensuring its continued competitiveness [2]. By increasing financial resources, UW aims to provide its football student-athletes with the support they need to excel both on and off the field.

How to Contribute

Supporters interested in contributing to the “Step Forward” campaign can do so through the official GoWyo.com website at GoWyo.com/StepForward. Alternatively, donations can be made by contacting the Cowboy Joe Club directly at 307-766-6242 [2].
