About

Support Capital Athletics

At Capital, we believe in the power of athletics to shape leaders both on and off the field. Our student-athletes demonstrate dedication, resilience, and teamwork every day as they represent Capital in competition and in the classroom.

Your support during Day of Giving helps strengthen the student-athlete experience and keeps Capital Athletics competitive across our programs. Gifts to Capital Athletics provide resources that directly support our students, including leadership development opportunities, NIL education, facilities enhancements, and programming designed to help student-athletes succeed during their time at Capital and beyond.

When you give today, you are investing in the growth, development, and success of our student-athletes.

Join us in showing your belief in Capital Athletics and make your gift today.

We could not have done it without our advocates, alumni, donors, and friends. You made this possible - thank you!

With appreciation,
