Mary B. Hecth passed away back in 1982, but has fulfilled a promise made thirty-five years ago in her last will and testament. The $4.2M donation was a gift that could not be executed until the recent passing of the income beneficiary of her estate.
“We are very moved by this wonderful gift. Mary Hecht was a passionate supporter of her favorite team, the Miami Hurricanes, and now her generous legacy will help future generations of student-athletes fulfill their dream to get a great education and play for the ‘U,’” UM President Donna Shalala said in a statement.
For a program always in need of a buck, over four million of them making up the largest endowment ever for football scholarships at ‘The U’ is huge.
Choke on that, Nevin Shapiro. You’ve been one-upped by someone who’s been gone since a year before UM’s first championship.
