Rebuilding the legacy, top to bottom.
The Miami Hurricanes enjoy one of the richest histories in college football. Season after season, decade after decade, the Canes have topped the charts, producing more NFL players, more championships, more Pro Bowl players and more Super Bowl winners than any other University. This year, we’re upping the intensity...going back to the fundamentals that helped build the dynasty, and moving forward with fresh ideas and a renewed focus on every aspect of the game. It’s going to be an explosive season you won’t want to miss.

A Legacy of Spirit and Sportsmanship
WITH A WINNING TRADITION THAT INCLUDES MORE THAN 66 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AND 456 ALL-AMERICANS, THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI IS ONE OF THE MOST REVERED ATHLETICS PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTRY.
It’s important we stay at the top, and this begins with recruiting a special kind of student-athlete. What’s in their heads and hearts is just as important as how fast, far, or accurately they can throw a ball. Many have worked their whole lives for the opportunity to be a Miami Hurricane. It’s a badge they wear with honor—and one that would be impossible without the Hurricane Club.
The mission of the Hurricane Club is to strengthen the University of Miami’s commitment to student-athlete excellence. Through the Hurricane Club, alumni, former student-athletes, and volunteers collectively seek to increase scholarship funding, improve facilities, and provide the operation and maintenance funding essential for all 17 varsity sports.
As a member of the Hurricane Club, your charitable gift is tax deductible and affords you several benefits—priority seating, program recognition, members-only events, and other exclusive rewards. The “Benefits at a Glance” chart in this brochure details all updated benefits for 2011. The greatest reward, however, is the direct and immediate impact you make on the lives of our student-athletes.
DID YOU KNOW? THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT PROVIDES AN EQUIVALENT OF 228 FULL SCHOLARSHIPS PER YEAR AT A COST OF $52,600 EACH.
2011 Goals: • GrowtheHurricaneClubmembershipbase to 5,000 donors • Raise$9.4millionforstudent-athlete scholarship support • NEXTLEVELcampaign–500donorstoupgrade to the next giving level
