Miller Family Invests $5 Million in Capital Projects

BOISE, Idaho – Boise State Athletics received a $5 million commitment from the Miller Family, director of athletics Jeramiah Dickey announced Wednesday. The commitment is the largest one-time donation in department history. The gift comes from Bob and Sharon Miller along with their sons - Barry, Mark and Rob - and their families.

"A donation of this magnitude will make a generational impact," said Dickey. "We are very thankful for the Miller Family today and every day. Their commitment ensures we are moving in the right direction to create a nationally-competitive athletics program that serves our student-athletes and our community."

The $5 million will be allocated to the north end zone project and future basketball capital improvements.

"We are committed to Boise and Bronco Nation," said Bob Miller. "The vision is clear and provides a roadmap for long-term sustainability and ensures success for our student-athletes for years to come."

The Miller Family has given more than $6 million to Boise State, with multiple family members among the Lyle Smith Society's founding group.

A leadership giving society to support Boise State Athletics, the Lyle Smith Society was established to increase philanthropic revenues, providing consistent funding for scholarships, operational needs and capital projects. Members of the Lyle Smith Society enjoy unique stewardship opportunities and benefits based on giving level while maintaining the flexibility to direct each gift to the fund of their choice.
