As a Wooden Athletic Fund member, your investment in UCLA Athletics has a significant and direct impact on the success of our coaches and student-athletes. The Wooden Athletic Fund assists in covering program expenses including scholarships, academic services, life skills development and recruiting for all 25 of our sports. Because of your generous support, we can provide our student athletes with the resources necessary to succeed in the classroom, in competition and in life beyond UCLA.

Thank you and Go Bruins!

Dan Guerrero

Here is how your support of the Wooden Athletic Fund positively impacts nearly 700 student-athletes at UCLA.
