What is the Finish Line Foundation? 

The Finish Line Foundation is an organized group of XC/T&F supporters that are committed to enhancing the student-athlete experience and participating in the pursuit of excellence of the Griz XC/T&F program. Your membership in the Finish Line Foundation makes you part of our team, supporting our athletes as they represent the University of Montana in competition, the classroom, and the community.

What is my gift used for?

Donations in support of Griz Cross Country/Track & Field go directly into Coach Fraley’s discretionary fund, where he is able to use it for areas of greatest need. Areas include:

• Scholarships – Books, fees, room & board for student-athletes.
• Team Travel – Elevating student-athlete competition and opportunities including early season warm-weather locations.
• Equipment – Providing funding for two uniform kits per athlete, two pairs of training shoes, and expensive implements such as javelins, pole vaulting poles, hurdles, and starting blocks that can exceed $500/unit.
• Capital Projects – improving facilities that will directly impact the Griz Cross Country / Track & Field program.
