Harold R. “Tubby” Raymond
Tubby's stellar career led the Blue Hens to 3 National Championships, 14 Lambert Cup trophies an induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. Even though his accolades on the field are unmatched, Tubby’s legacy off the field in Delaware is even more inspiring. If you were lucky enough to play for him you felt his impact. Now Tubby’s family is dedicated to continuing that legacy by helping the kids in Delaware that need it the most.
What does the Tubby Raymond Fund do?
While always committed to pursuing excellence in athletics, Tubby’s main motivation and primary source of pride was guiding his players to achieve incredible things beyond their four years as student-athletes. Since 2006, the Tubby Raymond Fund, a fund of the Delaware Community Foundation, has extended Tubby’s passion by funding mentorship and support for at-risk children inside the state of Delaware.
In less than two decades, the fund has continued Tubby’s legacy by donating generously to groundbreaking organizations in Delaware such as Kind To Kids, First Tee, and The Arc of Delaware. Your generosity at the Tub Club Tournament will fund their incredible work that helps young people in Delaware overcome barriers and carve their paths to success.
-
Kind to Kids helps meet the needs of children and teens in foster care – victims of child abuse and neglect – who are deeply affected by the trauma in their lives.
-
First Tee is a youth development organization that uses golf to enable kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges.
-
The Arc of Delaware promotes the human rights of people with disabilities, actively supporting full inclusion and participation in the community through advocacy and services.

“Possibly more than any other coach, Tubby helped shape UD Athletics into the excellent program it is today, one that reflects his dedication to teamwork, focus, and achievement both on and off the field.”
- UD President Dennis Assanis
“Ralph Waldo Emerson said “an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man” and Tubby Raymond cast a very long shadow at the University of Delaware. Coach Raymond, instilled in me, a sense of discipline and how to lead a life of purpose and meaning, with honor and integrity.”
- President Joe Biden
