Fund the Need: Support UBC Football Student Athletes

Support the Frank Smith Endowment for UBC Thunderbird Football

Let’s honour a legend and empower the next generation! By supporting the creation of the Frank Smith Endowment, you help ensure that Coach Smith’s lasting legacy continues to inspire and provide opportunities for Thunderbird football student-athletes.

Project Description

Legendary coach Frank Smith built one of Canada’s most respected university football programs and shaped countless lives at UBC. To celebrate his legacy, the Thunderbird Football Alumni (TFA) is working with UBC Athletics to establish the Frank Smith Endowment Fund, that will support scholarships for future generations of student-athletes. Your generosity will help us create an enduring source of support that embodies Coach Smith’s values of excellence, leadership, and community.

Challenges and Impact of Your Support

Gifts to the Frank Smith Endowment are an investment in our student-athletes’ futures—on the field, in the classroom, and beyond. With your help, we will honour Coach Smith’s memory and ensure Thunderbird football continues to thrive and produce outstanding young leaders.

About the TFA

The TFA will match donations up to $25,000 from Legacy Celebration proceeds. Join us in reaching our $50,000 goal to launch the endowment and keep Coach Smith’s impact alive for generations to come.
