About the Circle of Champions
Circle of Champions
The Circle of Champions program is a comprehensive membership program for The University of Southern Mississippi's top-tier athletics donors who strive for excellence within the university's athletics programs. Since 1999, this program has raised more than $140 million toward scholarship endowments and other significant facility improvements to M.M. Roberts Stadium, Reed Green Coliseum, and Pete Taylor Park, to include the new clubhouse and suites, new tennis courts, new Softball Complex and Stadium, and several other smaller-scale facility upgrades. The Circle of Champions program is administered through the Southern Miss Athletic Foundation, which carries the classification of a 501(c)(3) organization for tax purposes.
