“After another incredible year, I continue to be amazed at the level at which the Clemson Family supports our athletic program,” said Davis Babb, IPTAY CEO. “I want to thank each and every one of our 22,321+ donors who answered the call to support Clemson student-athletes at the highest level. Because of your generosity, Clemson Athletics remains one of the model athletic departments in the country. From the education our student-athletes receive, the benefits and resources offered that set us apart from other major athletic institutions to the top-notch facilities where our student-athletes compete, it is only possible because of each of you. I again say thank you because what we do is not possible without your generous support.”
