Sun Devil Generations, a program of the ASU Alumni Association, creates a lifelong ASU connection by involving children in various ASU traditions and programs catering specifically to youngsters. Aimed at children from birth to eighth grade, membership nurtures the relationship between a child and ASU.
Any Alumni Association member may sponsor a child in the program. Members who sponsor children in the program do not have to be related to the participants. In order for a child to participate, the Alumni Association member sponsoring them must stay current with their Alumni Association membership dues.

A portion of the funds raised will help the ASU Alumni Association build a legacy scholarship endowment.
