“Generating increased support for our department broadly, and NIL specifically, is critical to our ability to elevate our competitiveness in the BIG EAST, PFL, and national landscape. Graham has a long-standing track record of fundraising success at the highest level, and we are excited for him to take on this role that has him fully integrated into Athletics. Over the coming months, we will continue to add resources in several forms to our development group as we work to generate additional support for our department, teams and student-athletes.”

 

“Nobody is more passionate about the success of Butler University and Butler Athletics than Graham Honaker.  This is just another indication of the commitment of every one from President Danko to Athletic Director Grant Leindecker to the success of our student athletes including our NIL initiatives.  All Good Dawgs could not be more excited to continue our partnership with Graham in fundraising for the important work we are doing in the community through our AGD donors and our student athletes. “                                                                                 

 

“This is a dream job for me and I’m so appreciative for the opportunity!  I’m thrilled to work alongside new Vice President for Athletics, Grant Leiendecker and the entire Athletics team. I’m also excited to partner with the All Good Dawgs collective and their Executive Director Brandon Crone.  Support for Butler student-athletes broadly, and NIL specifically, is a major University priority and crucial to our success in the Big East Conference.  I’m eager to work with the entire Butler community to enhance support for our Athletics programs and maximize NIL opportunities for our student-athletes.  The college athletics landscape continues to evolve rapidly, but I’m very confident that with the support of our Bulldog donors and alums, we will meet that challenge head on.  GoDawgs!”
