PITTSBURGH—Coach Pat Narduzzi and his wife, Donna, have made a six-figure financial gift to the University of Pittsburgh's Football Championship Fund, which serves the program in such key areas as student-athlete development, facility improvement, technology and recruiting.
"I take great pride in wearing that Pitt Script on my chest each day as the University of Pittsburgh's head football coach," Narduzzi said. "This is an outstanding place with so many amazing people. Donna and I feel incredibly blessed to call Pitt our home.
"This gift is an expression of our thankfulness for the people of Pitt, especially the student-athletes we get to work with each day. Our responsibility is to give them the finest experiences possible—academically, athletically and personally. Donna and I feel truly honored and fortunate to be able to provide support for that mission at Pitt."
"On behalf of our university, I want to thank Pat and Donna Narduzzi for their generous donation," Director of Athletics Heather Lyke said. "It is a wonderful reflection of their commitment to our student-athletes. Pat is an extremely passionate coach, and his greatest passion is positively impacting our student-athletes and preparing them for success both now and into their futures. The Narduzzi's gift helps ensure we have the resources needed for our student-athletes to achieve at the highest levels."
This donation is a continuation of the Narduzzi's charitable giving to Pitt. They previously made a significant contribution to the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Vaccine Research in support of CVR's efforts to combat the virus that causes the disease COVID-19.
Pat and Donna Narduzzi are members of the Script Society, the exclusive philanthropic giving society for Pitt Athletics. This group of generous and committed donors provide critical financial support for Pitt student-athletes, the Pitt Band and spirit squads, helping enhance their experience at the University of Pittsburgh.
