RALEIGH, N.C. - Fueled by the unwavering support and investment of NC State supporters across the country, the Wolfpack Club concluded the 2026 fiscal year with one of the most successful fundraising years in its history, raising nearly $50 million.

"The commitment of our donors to provide an elite experience for our student-athletes and their passion for the Wolfpack is truly remarkable," said McMurray Family Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan. "We are so grateful to each and every member of the Wolfpack Club who has helped position our programs for sustained success.Â
Â
"I would also like to thank Ben Broussard and his staff for their hard work and dedication. Not only do they do a great job fundraising, but they are great stewards of those contributions and make sure that their members are constantly kept up to date on all the good news about NC State Athletics."
