A heartfelt THANK YOU
I just wanted to thank everyone who has donated and supported the UBC Track & Field and Cross Country team through the Millennium Breakfast fund. As an athlete who has benefited from the Millennium Breakfast fund over my years at UBC I want everyone who has to donated to know how much of a difference it makes in our lives as student-athletes.
Your donations allow for us to put all our efforts and energies into bettering ourselves in our sports and our academics without the added pressure of financials. Let me tell you from personal experience that even working full-time in our off season from June to August does not make a dent in how much it costs to be at UBC!
So thank you for the support and for allowing us to grow and improve both as athletes and as students. Tuesday was the first time I have attended to the Millennium Breakfast and seeing a huge room full of the university’s athletic supporters was truly incredible and inspiring!
It isn’t just the athletes and coaches that make UBC athletics so successful but all the support from people behind the scenes like you as well. Your generosity has made and will continue to make all the difference in both our academic and athletic careers!
