Attend a few Boise State sporting events and you can’t miss St. Luke’s support of the state’s largest university. The health system’s logo adorns multiple athletic facilities, from Dona Larsen Park, home of the softball team, to Albertsons Stadium. But for the 2024-25 academic year, another group of Boise State athletes also have St. Luke’s front and center — right on their uniforms. Comprising 25 teams and more than 700 students, club sports are a vital part of the campus experience for many Boise State students. Both the university and St. Luke’s saw an opportunity to collaborate by making St. Luke’s the title sponsor of club sports, supporting physical activity and aligning with the health system’s mission to improve the health of people in the communities we serve. “It’s kind of rare (when) you get into a space where its win-win-win, but I think this has been a great example of that,” said Brandon Fudge, director of corporate strategic partnerships at the Boise State University Foundation. “It’s the end of Year 1 and we feel like the momentum is just getting started.” (fb)
