Austin-based Tito’s Vodka invests $20 million to UT athletics

Tito’s Vodka is giving back to the University of Texas.

The famous Austin-based Vodka company, Tito’s, has pledged a $20 million leadership gift to University of Texas athletics.

The university issued a statement regarding what the money will help fund:

The impact of this $20 million investment reaches across multiple sports by assisting with the construction of new practice facilities for men’s and women’s basketball, rowing, and football. These new facilities will elevate the experience of UT student-athletes, providing them with world-class training environments necessary to achieve at the highest level. Tito’s investment also allows Texas Athletics to remain highly competitive in the recruitment of elite student-athletes, coaches, and staff.

The founder of Tito’s Vodka, Bert “Tito” Beveridge, is a University of Texas alumni. His donation will continue the massive facilities upgrades Texas has done since the arrival of Athletic Director Chris Del Conte in 2017.

Texas has upgraded its football stadium, added new baseball and softball indoor practice areas and it is in the process of finishing the Moody Center.

The athletic facilities at Texas are becoming some of the best in the country.
