The Cougar Challenge is Back!
While athletics certainly looks different this fall, all of our teams are training, conditioning, and participating in team-building and leadership activities safely together. And, each sport continues to have equipment, gear, and programming needs they would like to fulfill in order to prepare for a successful return when competition resumes.
Last year, more than 1,700 donors contributed over $107,000 to Clark Athletics.
The impact of the Challenge was felt by all of our student-athletes and coaches, who were able to purchase gear and equipment, cover team travel expenses, and so much more because of the generosity of our supporters.
This year, each team has a chance to get in on the competition. Any team that reaches 100 or more donors will split a pool of additional funds generously contributed by an anonymous alumni couple. (Donations of $5 or more will be counted towards the team donor total)

THANK YOU to the 1,356 donors who contributed to the #cougarchallenge
this year! The Clark community truly came through for our teams and we are extremely fortunate to have such dedicated supporters.
Thank you to our incredible supporters for fulfilling all of our team-specific matches!
Let's keep this momentum up for our other teams!
Congratulations to three more teams for hitting 100 donors!
The second team of the #cougarchallenge hits the 100 donor mark- congratulations, Men's Lacrosse! Women's Soccer, Rowing, and Baseball are getting close!
Congratulations to Softball for being the first team to hit 100 donors! Let's keep up this momentum and get all of our teams there- we have until Friday at noon!
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support for our student-athletes!
Your generosity is so appreciated but we ask that you please refrain from using fake names and/or creating multiple transactions when making your gift.
While every member of a household is welcome to make a gift (and will count towards donor totals) - multiple transactions per donor make it very difficult for our staff members at Clark who process these gifts.
Thank you again!
35 days ago by Nicole MissinoThe goal this year is for each team to reach 100 donors. Any team that does will split an additional pool of money generously donated by an anonymous Clark couple!
With the overwhelming support of our donors last year, all of our varsity teams were able to purchase new apparel, equipment, and so much more. Pictured above are just some of our teams wearing and using apparel and equipment purchased using funds from the 2019 Cougar Challenge.
