Join us for our first annual Athletics Day of Giving!
Today marks our first annual Athletic Day of Giving, a tradition we hope to carry on for years to come. This year, we are focused on uniting our community to support one shared goal: funding the hiring of a dedicated strength and conditioning coach for all of our athletes.
Our Beloit College Buccaneers have a proud history of resilience, dedication, and achievement. To maintain this momentum and help our athletes compete at their best, we need to provide them with top-notch resources. A strength and conditioning coach is a critical part of that mission. This role will be instrumental in elevating our athletes’ training, improving performance, and reducing injuries—all essential to their success both on the field and in life. This will also allow the individual sport coaches to focus more on sport skill development, tactical game plans, and recruiting.
By participating in this Athletics Day of Giving, you’re doing more than making a donation; you’re directly contributing to the growth and success of every Buccaneers athlete.
Imagine the impact we can make together! We invite you to be a part of this transformative step for our program, fueling our athletes’ journey to greatness. Every gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to building stronger, more competitive, and united Buccaneers.
How you can show your support:
- Make a gift and help us reach our goal of $75,000 so we can add a dedicated strength coach for all of our Buccaneers to our Athletics staff. You can now make gifts using PayPal and with Venmo and ApplePay via your mobile device.
- Create a matching gift or challenge to motivate other Beloiters to give.
- Share the campaign and why you’re supporting our student-athletes on social media using #BucsStrong and #BeloitCollege.
- Check back throughout the day for live updates and watch your gifts grow.
- If you would like to make a donation with a stock gift, IRA distribution, or from a DAF, please see details here, or email gift@beloit.edu.

Thank you for your support!
Thank you for your exceptional generosity, as always. Because of you, our athletes will be trained by the best. We have funded TWO YEARS of strength coaching, but let’s keep going! The campaign ends at midnight so there's still some time. Let’s finish strong (get it?)!
We will send a final update later this week when all of your gifts are in. Thank you, again, for an outstanding Athletics Day of Giving.
We hit our initial goal of $75,000 and have funded the strength coach for one year! Thank you, Beloiters!! Let's keep going and try to fund a second year. Now, the 1889 Council athletic board is offering a SECOND match to fund a SECOND year for a strength coach! The 1889 Council will give $1 for every $1 raised for the campaign, up to $25,000! Let's go, Bucs!
Rick'82 and Pam Ruegger just donated $10,000! They will give another $5000 if 10 people set up a monthly or yearly recurring gift of any amount.
Matt Laszlo'92 and Family will generously give $10,000 when we reach 92 donors—in honor of Matt's class year! Let's go, Bucs!
Wow! We are just getting started and the 1889 Council's early match has already been met! Beloiters are so generous. Let's keep going!
