Duke Athletics far surpasses fundraising goal
Posted Aug 21, 2017
Duke Athletics raised $340 million during the comprehensive seven-year Duke Forward campaign that concluded in June with a total of $3.85 billion. The original goal of the campaign was $25o million earmarked for athletics, but private donors contributed $90 million more than that to benefit facility upgrades, scholarship/program endowment and operational support.
