Midwestern State alumni Hollis R. and Donna Sullivan announced a $1 million gift allocated solely for athletics during a recent luncheon.  The gift is the largest in the history of Midwestern State Athletics.  Sullivan earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from MSU in 1979 and worked briefly for Cobra Oil before starting an oil business with his father.  He formed Hollis R. Sullivan, Inc. in 1990.  "This is where I got started," he said. "I am a big fan of Wichita Falls and realize the importance MSU has in the community. I am really humbled to be able to do this."   The gift will allow a number of much needed, student-athlete friendly projects to come to fruition.   Furthermore, “it could not have come at a better time because of the renovation of the coliseum and the necessity of setting back funds for future scholarships," MSU President Jesse Rogers said.  The renovation of the 40-year-old D.L. Ligon Coliseum will expand the facility to accommodate Midwestern State's 12-sport athletic program which has grown substantially since the school became an NCAA Division II member institution in 1995.  The gift will allow for growth in other important areas outside of the competition arena.  For a complete story click on msumustangs.athleticsite.com/article.  The Sullivan’s are proud parents of a daughter, Lindsey, and two sons, Parker and Houston. Houston is a December 2008 graduate of Midwestern State.
