Energy sector entrepreneur Steve Verschoor co-founded the solar energy components manufacturer GTSP Global, Inc., in 2008 and continues to serve as the Boise, Idaho, firm’s head of sales. His successes in the business world include his co-founding of Vancouver, Washington-based Molecular Testing Labs, which is innovating in COVID-19 testing. Steve Verschoor also enjoys a variety of outdoor sports and supports the Bronco Athletic Association (BAA).
The BAA provides much-needed funding for hundreds of student-athletes who are members of Boise State University’s 18 varsity teams. The goal is to ensure that these members of the university community are receiving everything they need to do their best work both in the classroom and on the field.
Donors to the BAA help the student-athletes pay tuition and associated fees, purchase books and other materials, and eat nutritious meals daily. Other BAA funding goes toward room and board, necessary travel for sports teams, and ongoing guidance with strength and conditioning.
Among its other recent notable activities, in 2019, the BAA unveiled an innovative way to support “The Blue.” Donors could purchase special personalized Bronco Legacy Bricks at $130 each, with tax-deductible proceeds going toward renovating the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery on campus. Monies raised were also marked for use in the Bronco Sports Performance program.
