Return to Camp T Matching Donation Program Announced
TEMPE, Ariz.--The White Mountain Sun Devil Club Alumni Chapter has committed to match donations to the Return to Camp T program, up to $65,000, to help Sun Devil Football spend August 14-18, 2012 at the famous preseason Camp. Every dollar donated to the Return to Camp T program, beginning Wednesday, May 2nd, will be matched by the White Mountain Sun Devil Club Alumni Chapter, effectively doubling every contribution.
Announced on April 19th, the Return to Camp T program has steadily marched toward the stated goal of $150,000. The matching program will go a long way toward ensuring the goal is met prior to the June 1st deadline. If it is met the Sun Devil football team, under first-year head coach Todd Graham, will return to Camp Tontozona in 2012 for preseason camp.

"The White Mountain Sun Devil Club and Alumni Chapter are thrilled and excited to be part of the return to Camp T. campaign," says Club President Ted Cesarano. "Our Annual Steak Fry event's theme has always been, "The Tradition Continues" and we believe that Camp T is a tradition that this generation of Sun Devil football players should have an opportunity to experience. We see this as "Carpe Diem" - seize the moment. As Coach Graham would say, "We are speaking victory and invite others to join us". The 5th Annual White Mountain Steak Fry and Tate's Auto Group Golf Tournament is highlighted by Coach Graham and Hall of Fame great Randall McDaniel."
