Friends of Harvard Squash – Annual Report 2019

Dear Alumni and Friends,

In order for us to run the best program possible, we ask you regularly to support the Friends of Harvard Squash. While Harvard Athletics covers many parts of the program, we still need to raise a significant amount from alumni and Friends like you every year to meet our budget.

Not only did we hit our fundraising goal of $81,000 this past fiscal year, we did it in style: While our overall participation rate increased from 10% to 15%, 39 alumnae stepped up to support our teams, bringing the female participation rate to an incredible 28%. These percentages are crucial for ensuring the sustainability of our teams and future fundraising efforts.

Take a few moments today to page through our Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2019 – it gives you a sense of what we’ve accomplished and where we are heading.

With your help, we had one of the most successful seasons in program history:

• Men’s & Women’s National Champions
• Men’s & Women’s Ivy Champions
• Men’s & Women’s Individual National Champions – Victor Crouin ’22 & Gina Kennedy ’20
• Men’s & Women’s Ivy Player of the Year – Victor Crouin ’22 & Sabrina Sobhy ’19
• Men’s & Women’s Ivy Coach of the Year – Mike Way
• 9 All Americans
• 7 First Team All Ivy Honors
• 9 CSA Scholar-Athletes

Thank you for your ongoing generosity. I hope to see you at our matches and events in the new year.

Go Crimson!

Mike Way
