Mississippi State and the Bulldog Club announce The Cristil Society for donors

From Mississippi State Athletics Media Relations
Mississippi State Athletics and the Bulldog Club announced Wednesday the formation of the Cristil Society, a philanthropic giving group dedicated to enhancing the student-athlete experience at Mississippi State. In an ever-changing college athletics landscape, the Cristil Society will be a foundation upon which student-athlete and team success is built at Mississippi State.
The Cristil Society has been named in memory of the legendary voice of the Bulldogs, the late Jack Cristil. Cristil was a cornerstone in MSU radio booths for over 50 years. His voice is synonymous with some of the greatest moments in the history of Mississippi State Athletics as he consistently wrapped victories and memories in “Maroon and White.”
Contributions to the Bulldog Club provide necessary resources for 16 sport programs and over 400 student-athletes. These key investments can be designated toward areas of focus including the holistic student-athlete experience, facility enhancements and scholarships. The Cristil Society has been created to recognize Bulldog Club members whose commitments go above and beyond their priority seating contributions, and it will provide the financial resources for current Mississippi State Athletics needs, while allowing our student-athletes to be successful in the classroom, in competition and in the community.
“In this ever-changing landscape of college athletics, some key things will remain the same at Mississippi State,” Director of Athletics Zac Selmon said. “We will provide transformational experiences. We will equip our young people with tools for life. They will earn college degrees and we will keep winning at the forefront in all that we do. I am thrilled we will have the opportunity to celebrate and recognize loyal and committed Bulldog Club members who go above and beyond to join us in this mission. We are proud to be able to honor Mr. Cristil who also went above and beyond for Mississippi State University, as it is a worthy cause.”
