Calling all Southwestern athletes, alumni, parents, coaches, faculty/staff, and friends of Pirate Athletics! Now is the time to rally together to support our Pirates. Make a gift of any size to help us reach our goal of 1,250 donors for our students. You can support the Pirate Fund for Athletics or give directly to your favorite teams and programs!
This year, we have exciting opportunities for you to help our students have the best intercollegiate athletic experience possible! As proud members of the Southern Athletic Association (SAA), our teams now play against new competitors among the top liberal arts peers in the South. It is an honor to join the SAA, one of the two national Division III leagues. We are also breaking ground on our multi-sport athletic complex, elevating our program’s competing surface and providing a focal point for our greater campus and Georgetown communities.
Now is the time when you can help lead us to victory by making your gift, offering a matching or challenge gift, and sharing with your networks to join you during the Pirates for Pirates Challenge! We ask that you support our students at a higher level this year and enhance their experience to the fullest extent possible. With your gift and encouragement for others to join you, we will reach our goal of 1,250 donors for Pirate Athletics.
