The seventh annual Crimson & Gold Challenge kicks off on Monday, August 11th, and runs through Friday, August 15th. For five days Kangaroo athletic teams will be battling it out for first place - it is a participation challenge! The team receiving the most gifts wins.
When you support ’Roos Athletics’, you will help supplement our budget so we can truly enhance the student-athlete experience.
Your gift will:
• Benefit student-athletes who compete for Austin College, directly impacting them on the field of play.
• Support coaches and staff, who serve as role models for leadership, with resources to build our athletic programs and shape the student-athlete experience.
• Impact team budgets by providing resources beyond travel, equipment, and uniforms.
Another way to get involved is by serving as an advocate. These volunteers spread the word and encourage others to take part. There will be fun gifts for our advocates, so sign up now or if you are interested in being an Advocate but have questions, please reach out to Defne Cortes, Director of Development, at dcortes@austincollege.edu
Austin College Crimson & Gold Challenge is all about alumni and friends showing their support for the College and athletic teams we love.
