The Swedes Esports financial goals for the year include equipment upgrades, increased travel budget, and additional assistant coaching. The program's ability to achieve these three goals will directly enhance the overall experience for each student-athlete in Bethany College Esports. Traveling, in particular, is an opportunity that has become more readily available in recent months. The experiences that esports student-athletes gain while competing in-person have been sought after by the student-athletes since the programs inception three years ago. Any opportunity to get students competing in an in-person atmosphere is a monumental victory in itself for the students and the program.
Thank you in advance for your generosity in considering your donation to Bethany College Esports. We look forward to the opportunity to continue to enhance the student-athlete experience while leading the Swedes to victory!
