Let’s Finish Strong, ’Cats! We’re kicking off this year’s Wildcat Top 21, and I hope the brief video message above encourages you to help Davidson Athletics in this annual competition. We have an ambitious fundraising goal of raising $500,000 during the 2024 competition. Meeting and surpassing that goal will help our coaches and teams be as strong as they can be to take on our competition in the A-10, PFL and Southern Conference. Put simply, your dollars help our athletes and teams win. Give us every chance to compete at the highest levels and bring championships home to Davidson.
Here's what you need to know for the 2024 Wildcat Top 21 Competition:
- MAKE YOUR GIFT designated to any of our 21 Division I programs or to Davidson Athletic Fund (DAF) – Unrestricted, and your gift will count in this year’s competition and help us reach our overall goal of raising $500,000 in 22 days (May 31-June 21, 2024).
- SCORING PLAN – A gift of any size helps your team, and a larger gift helps more – be as generous as possible. To determine this year’s winning team, we are once again using a formula that combines each team’s fundraising goal and a push for increased participation by our athletics alums. Since Davidson people like to see the math, our Wildcat Top 21 scoring calculation is:
(3(progress to financial goal)+ (progress to participation goal))/4
All gifts made from the start of this fiscal year (July 1, 2023) through the end of the Wildcat Top 21 challenge on June 21, 2024 will be factored into the scoring calculation to determine the winner of the 2024 Wildcat Top 21
Note: Gifts may take a few days to be reflected in the current standings chart. Final results will be determined when all gifts have been counted.
An anonymous donor is creating a $10,000 prize pool for the top three placing Davidson teams. First place will receive $5,000, second will receive $3,000 and third will receive $2,000.
