I didn't see this on the board anywhere.

In case it's not obvious by now, the big push for athletics in ND's next campaign is going to be endowment support for all of the sports.

Baumers endow men’s lacrosse coaching position


A $3 million gift from John and Mollie Baumer of Manhattan Beach, California, will underwrite the salary of the head coach, provide stability and resources for the long term and create funds for use within the department and across campus.

“We are very appreciative of John and Mollie Baumer’s generosity,” said Jack Swarbrick, Notre Dame’s vice president and director of athletics. "This is a gift that reflects both the relationship between the extended Baumer and Corrigan families that goes back more than three decades and the Baumers’ appreciation of the extraordinary program that Kevin Corrigan has built at Notre Dame.

“Notre Dame lacrosse has not only joined the ranks of the best lacrosse teams in the country, but Kevin has been equally successful in building a program with a winning track record off the field. This is reflected in the selection of the team’s youth mentoring program for the ACC/United Way Game Changers Award and Kevin’s unique approach to advancing the career aspirations of his student-athletes through a carefully constructed networking program with Notre Dame alumni. The Baumers’ gift is a fitting tribute to Kevin’s abilities and his dedication to the student-athlete model.”
