The University of Guam Endowment Foundation received a $10,000 check from World Theater Productions prior to the company's opening performance of "Mamma Mia" on Sept. 6 at the Calvo Field House. The donation, which was part of the proceeds from the show's ticket sales, will sponsor scholarships for student-athletes in the Triton Athletics varsity sports programs.

Each UOG varsity sport -- men's basketball, women's basketball, men's soccer, and women's soccer -- will receive $2,500 to award to student-athletes in the 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 school years. The funds should result in 12 to 15 scholarships.
