Private support is a vital source of fundingfor Boston College Athletics. The William J.Flynn Fund provides BC student-athletes andcoaches with the resources that are necessaryto compete at the highest level of college ath-letics including the funding of athletic scholar-ships. Scholarships are the single largestexpense for the athletic department and theFlynn Fund is vital to help finance the risingcost of tuition.
In addition, Boston College has continuedto make significant strides in the improve-ment of its athletics facilities as a direct resultof gifts to athletics. Most recently, construc-tion was completed on the $27 millionYawkey Athletics Center. This 72,000 squarefoot building was the first facility on campusto be 100 percent privately funded. In 2004,FieldTurf, a state-of-the-art synthetic grass-like surface, was installed in Alumni Stadium
and the baseball field received a new score-board. Other recent projects have includednew basketball playing surfaces in both ConteForum and Power Gym, new sound systems inAlumni Stadium and Conte Forum, the addi-tion of the “bubble” to Alumni Stadium, newvideo and advertisement boards in AlumniStadium, a new scoreboard for the softballfield, and the construction of a soccer-onlyfacility with both competition and practicefields at the Newton Campus.
Alumni, Parents and Friends of BostonCollege Athletics contributed a record $13million in cash during the 2004-05 year. Thismarks the 12th consecutive year that a newfundraising record has been set. In 1994,Athletics secured less than $2 million and hasgrown more than six times over the past 10years. Included among this year’s gifts are 32commitments of $100,000 or more, a 45 per-
cent increase from the year before. For fur-ther information about becoming involvedwith the William J. Flynn Fund please call(617) 552-0772.
Many friends of Boston College Athleticshave worked with the Office of Gift Planningto make gifts that benefited both BC athleticprograms and the donor’s family. In additionto outright gifts of cash or securities, otherapproaches include plans that pay income tothe donor or family member for life, plansthat save estate taxes while making charitablegifts, and gifts of assets such as real estate orantiques and collectibles.

Boston College and the Athletics Department announced the
establishment of the William J. Flynn Fund in 1998. The Flynn Fund
replaced Blue Chips as the central way in which individuals can sup-
port Boston College Athletics.
Bill Flynn ‘39 was associated with Boston College Athletics for
nearly seven decades as a student-athlete, faculty member, coach
and athletics director. During that time his loyalty, dedication, fore-
sight and integrity were examples of the highest qualities in inter-
collegiate athletics. Flynn served as the Director of Athletics at
Boston College from 1957 until 1991. The Flynn Fund will always
serve as a reminder to donors and student-athletes that his dedica-
tion to Boston College was the foundation for decades of institu-
tional success.
“This is a fitting way to honor a man who was a giant in his field,”
said Athletic Director Gene DeFilippo. “Bill’s name will now be asso-
ciated with a fund that raises money for scholarships for student-
athletes, and that is what he was about.”
“Bill would be so honored that his name will live on at Boston
College through the Flynn Fund, because he was always so interest-
ed in the welfare of the student-athletes,” said Marie Flynn, widow
of the former athletic director. “Our whole family is so honored.”
Establishing an Endowed Fund
Opportunities exist to establish a permanentnamed endowed fund that will benefit BC stu-dent-athletes perpetually. An endowment is adonation that is invested and the interest gen-erated from the principal is used to perma-nently fund a specific need of the AthleticDepartment in accordance with the donor’swishes, i.e. athletic scholarships, coach’ssalaries, operating expenses, etc. Donors whoprovide a gift to fund an endowment have theopportunity to permanently link their name ora loved one’s name to Boston CollegeAthletics. Endowments can range from a$1,000,000 coach’s endowment, to a $500,000fully funded athletic scholarship, to a $100,000partially funded scholarship. An endowedscholarship gift can be paid over a period ofyears and will establish your commitment toBoston College Athletics in perpetuity. Forinformation on establishing an endowed fundplease contact any member of our staff at(617) 552-0772.

Gene DeFilippo and Boston College Athletics seem to be a perfect fit.Since DeFilippo became Director of Athletics on September 16, 1997,
he has led the BC athletics program to a dizzying and unprecedentedperiod of innovation, growth, fundraising, athletic and academic suc-cess. DeFilippo has made a significant impact on the program internal-ly, in the Boston community, and from a national standpoint while mold-ing it into one of the nation’s elite both on and off the playing field. Heis now poised to lead the program through one of the most significantperiods in its history as it transitions to full membership in the AtlanticCoast Conference.
DeFilippo is credited with spearheading efforts to strengthen BC’s ath-letics program in a number of areas, including facilities, fundraising,staffing and academic support. Boston College student-athletes’ achieve-ments in the classroom have become an immense source of pride for theUniversity and its supporters. The Office of Learning Resources forStudent-Athletes just moved into its brand new home in the YawkeyAthletics Center. Under DeFilippo’s leadership, a record 382 BC student-athletes maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or better during the2004-05 academic year, earning the Athletic Director’s Award forAcademic Excellence. The football team won the 2004 American FootballCoaches Association’s Academic Achievement Award with a 100 percentgraduation rate and BC’s graduation rate for all student-athletes has con-
sistently ranked in the nation’s top 10.During DeFilippo’s tenure, U.S. News and World Report honored
Boston College as one of the top 20 athletics departments in the country.The magazine ranked each Division I school on four criteria: Gender equi-ty, graduation rates, win-loss records and total number of sports offered.Additionally, to be honored, a school could not have committed anymajor NCAA infractions in the previous 10 years. BC made the honor rollalong with such athletic and academic heavyweights as Duke, Stanford,Harvard and Michigan.
DeFilippo has restructured the athletics program and hired top-notchadministrators. He initiated an impressive overhaul of BC’s athletics facili-ties that includes new football practice facilities, lighting, scoreboards andother improvements at Shea Field, renovations to Conte Forum, includinga new sound system, floor and video boards, two new soccer fields on theNewton campus, new Field Turf for Alumni Stadium, and an air-inflatedbubble to cover the stadium turf to provide an indoor practice facility forall sports during the winter months.
DeFilippo renamed the Athletics Association’s fundraising arm (former-ly Blue Chips) in honor of longtime Athletics Director Bill Flynn. UnderDeFilippo’s leadership, Alumni, parents and friends of Boston CollegeAthletics contributed approximately $13 million during the 2004-05 fiscalyear, a program record.
Endowed scholarships continue to be a priority for DeFilippo and agrowing source of funding for the Athletics Department. Currently, thereare more than 115 named and endowed athletic funds benefiting BC stu-dent-athletes. Since 2000, more than 325 student-athletes have receivedaid from endowed scholarships.
DeFilippo also led the fundraising efforts on the $27 million YawkeyAthletics Center, helping it become the first 100-percent privately fundedbuilding on campus. The Yawkey Center houses the varsity football pro-gram, the Office of Learning Resources for Student-Athletes, and a largefunction area for general University use, freeing up critically needed spacein Conte Forum for women’s athletics and other Olympic sports teams.After football moved into the Yawkey Center, in fact, work began on amulti-million dollar renovation to Conte Forum to provide additional lock-er room and office space for many of BC’s 31 varsity sports.
DeFilippo has spoken before literally dozens of alumni, media and com-munity groups and introduced a five-year strategic plan to result in anequal opportunity for participation by men and women in BC Athletics.
In athletics competition, DeFilippo has overseen some of the most suc-cessful seasons in Boston College Athletics history. Upon several occa-sions during the 2004-05 academic year, as many as eight BC teams wereranked among the nation’s top 25. The 2004 Eagles football team cappeda marvelous run by appearing in a school record sixth consecutive bowlgame and winning its fifth straight. The 2004-05 men’s basketball teambecame the first in Big East Conference history to go 20-0 en route to amagical season, and the women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey teamscontinued their runs in the NCAA Tournament.
In 2003, Boston College announced it had extended DeFilippo’s con-tract through 2010. In making the announcement, BC President Rev.William P. Leahy, S.J., said “Gene DeFilippo has had a tremendous impactat Boston College, not only on our athletics program, but also among ouralumni and friends. He is committed to excellence in both athletics andacademics, and I look forward to working with him in the years ahead.”
DeFilippo expressed gratitude to Fr. Leahy for the extension.“My heart is at Boston College,” said DeFilippo. “The only job I want is
the one I already have. After several moves during my career as a football
