Michigan State recorded a donated aviation gift valued at $8,870.39 for Coach Fitzgerald. The Board of Trustees reports name Mike McNamara as the donor and Intercollegiate Athletics or the Spartan Fund as the recipient.

N271PH flew KPTK–KLAN–KUNV–KLBE–KLAN–KPTK on January 31, 2026. The aircraft movement is the high-confidence outing associated with the Board record.

The Board record establishes the donor, recipient, stated purpose and value, but it generally does not identify the flight date, aircraft, route or passenger list. The outing association is stronger than the allocation of the individual gift amounts.
