CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Jason England has been promoted to director for the Big Maroon Club, Vice President for Development Benji Kelly announced.

England, who served as assistant director of the Big Maroon Club in 2013-14, took over the lead of the university's athletic fundraising in August of this year. He replaces Dr. G. Ted Taylor, who will now work with the university's church outreach teams.



"We are excited about Jason moving into the role as director of the Big Maroon Club," Kelly said. "As a former athlete, Jason knows firsthand the opportunities our student-athletes have to compete at this level. His passion for this university is evident in each of the roles he has held."

England joined CU Office of Development in 2011

England joined the Campbellsville University Office of Development in 2011 as the assistant director for alumni relations. In 2013 he transitioned into the role of assistant director of the Big Maroon Club, where he helped expand CU's total number of corporate sponsors, helped recruit new members to the booster club, and organized the More Than A Game Tiger Bowl for middle school football prior to moving into his new role.

His first task as the director of the Big Maroon Club was the 10th annual Athletic Boosters Auction, now known as the More Than A Game Booster Auction/Dinner. England launched an online entity for the auction. The event on August 7, 2014, raised a record $36,000 for CU's sports teams.

England made immediate impact on the Big Maroon Club

"Jason has made an immediate impact on the Big Maroon Club as the new director. He loves this university and our athletics program," Rusty Hollingsworth, CU director of athletics, said. "He has already proven he can help take us to a new level in corporate support and fundraising. I look forward to working beside Jason as we seek financial support for new facilities and programs at CU."
