How You Can Help
Members of the Board of Directors of the Stark Foundation, which provided 3.5 million dollars for this project, took a hard hat tour of the construction site in January 2008.
Becoming a Financial Contributor:
To make the Stark Center the effective research tool we know it can become, we are actively seeking financial contributions from private individuals and foundations to support staffing, research, acquisitions, conservation work, student fellowships, and equipment. The 3.5 million dollar gift from the Nelda C. and H.J. Lutcher Stark Foundation of Orange, Texas, will pay for the construction of the new 27,500 square foot H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports facility. However, all of that grant will be used in paying for the “bricks and mortar” construction needs of the Center, and so more funding is needed to help support cataloguing, conservation work, and the various operations of the Center. Significant donations might even be eligible for naming opportunities.
Donations to The Stark Center can be made to The University of Texas, a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation.
For information about supporting The H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports, please contact the Director, Terry Todd, at 512-471-4890 or at terrytodd@mail.utexas.edu.
For additional information on tax-free giving to The University of Texas, contact: David Onion, Vice-President for Development at: onion@austin.utexas.edu; or 512-471-8178. Mr. Onion may also be reached by mail at: The University of Texas at Austin, P.O. Box 7458, Austin, TX 78713.
Donating Artifacts, Books, Magazines, Photos and Other Materials:
The Todd-McLean Collection has been at UT since 1983, and its growth has been significantly augmented by the donation from private individuals of books, magazines, photographs, scrapbooks, correspondence, manuscript files, posters, trophies, paintings, training equipment, artifacts, and other items. If you have materials related to the history of physical culture, exercise, or alternative medicine or materials related to the history of sports at UT or elsewhere that you would be interested in donating or loaning to the Stark Center, please contact us via our emails below or by calling 512-471-4890.
