Flagler College is thrilled to announce a planned gift of $75,000 from Board of Trustee member and alumnus Mitch Walk ’79, which will establish an Athletics Operational Endowment to support Flagler’s athletic programs.

In addition, Walk has contributed $30,000 towards the renovation of the Tennis Center, including the refurbishment of a tennis court, and $25,000 for the restoration of a dorm room in the historic Ponce Hall. Together, these gifts reflect Walk’s dedication to enhancing the student experience and preserving the College’s treasured campus spaces. 

“This extraordinary gift from Mitch Walk will have a lasting impact on our students, athletes, and the campus community,” said Jud Damon, Director of Athletics at Flagler College. “Mitch’s support strengthens our athletic programs and enriches the campus experience, helping us sustain high standards in our facilities and student services.” 

Reflecting on his commitment to Flagler College, Walk shared, “Since my time as a student, Flagler has held a special place in my life. I am honored to give back in a way that supports both the athletic programs that foster growth and resilience and the historic spaces like Ponce Hall that define Flagler’s unique spirit. My hope is that this support helps today’s students make memories as meaningful as mine were.”
