Fred Steinmark Fund
Freddie Steinmark was a starting safety for the Longhorns’ national champion football team in 1969. He endures as a Texas symbol of courage and perseverance – and an inspiration to us all. Following UT’s victory against No. 2 Arkansas, a cancerous tumor was discovered in Freddie’s left thigh, resulting in amputation of his leg. He returned to the sidelines on crutches to support his team’s triumph over Notre Dame in Cotton Bowl. Freddie passed away in Houston two years later.
Your endowment donation can fully cover the academic-related costs of a world class University of Texas education for our student-athletes. If we come together to fully fund the Fred Steinmark endowment, we will be able to provide a full scholarship every year to a student-athlete to follow in Freddie’s footsteps with courage and determination.
