LEADERSHIP GIVING
Bowden Society
Our legendary Head Football Coach, Bobby Bowden was integral in the success and transformation of Florida State’s Athletics program.
This Society, named in his honor, includes donors who make a commitment of $50,000 and above to either the facility or endowment fund. These commitments are payable over a 5-year term, and will contribute to the foundation of excellence that Coach Bobby Bowden laid at Florida State University.

Micco Society
The word Micco in the Seminole language means Chief or Leader, thus it is appropriate that our most distinguished giving society bears that name.
This society recognizes those top individuals who have given over one million dollars in charitable giving, usually in the form of a singular gift. Serving as the most inner circle, Micco Society members join in the shared vision of providing the best academic and athletic opportunities for Florida State Athletics.

Seminole Legacy Giving
Seminole Legacy Giving recognizes supporters who have included Seminole Boosters in their estate plans through a will, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy, or other planned gift.
The Gold Standard
The Gold Standard symbolizes an exclusive and elite group of donors that support Florida State Athletics in the most comprehensive way possible by being Chief-level Seminole Athletic Fund donors, as well as Bowden Society and Seminole Legacy members. By giving to all three areas, these dedicated supporters are funding scholarships, building first-class facilities, and protecting the future and legacy of Florida State Athletics.

I grew up around FSU leaders like my Dad (Andy Haggard), George Langford, and Les Pantin. But, you just can’t sit around and hope these guys will do something else. When you look at the pride we have in our university we have to give back to it.
