FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Fairfield University Athletics has announced the re-branding of the new Built for Life Fund to be officially launched this Giving Tuesday, Nov. 30.
 
Formerly the "Athletic Director's Fund," the Built for Life Fund will enhance and sustain the holistic educational experience of all Stags student-athletes by providing the necessary resources to effectively support all areas of Sports Performance and mental health, multi-faceted educational programming and career planning, spiritual development, diversity and service initiatives, and the continued improvement of physical infrastructure and spaces that positively impact all of our student-athletes. 
 
"The recalibration of the Built for Life fund is the next step in our effort to create a premier, modern student-athlete development model that is second to none in Division I Athletics. It will be the cornerstone for optimal support to fulfill our cultural commitments; the ability of all Stags to Compete, Care, Lead and Grow during their careers at Fairfield, said Director of Athletics Paul Schlickmann. "Gifts to this fund will ensure that all of our student-athletes are positioned to succeed in all facets of their athletics and academic endeavors, are cared for in mind, in body and in spirit, and will graduate from Fairfield University equipped to become the future leaders of our community and our world."
