This month, the MGA Foundation proudly celebrated a generous gift from alumnus and Foundation Trustee Christopher "Chris" Brazell and his wife, Gillian, whose support strengthens Middle Georgia State University Athletics during its recent transition into NCAA Division II.

During a special ceremony on the Cochran Campus, the University unveiled the newly named Brazell Family Athletic Training Facility Team Room, honoring the Brazell family’s commitment to expanding opportunities for student-athletes. The space will serve as a central hub for team meetings, strategy sessions, and the day-to-day moments that build strong, unified teams.

Chris’s leadership on the MGA Foundation Board of Trustees, paired with the couple’s deep belief in MGA’s mission, makes this gift especially meaningful. Their investment enhances the student-athlete experience and supports the future success of Knight Athletics.

"We are deeply grateful for Chris and Gillian’s leadership and unwavering faith in our student-athletes," the Foundation shared. "Their generosity will have a lasting impact on MGA Athletics for years to come." 💜
