Clarkson University Athletics Giving Day 2021 is an online fundraising drive taking place for 24 hours on Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021. It’s a time for alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff and friends to come together and celebrate, support and invest in our Golden Knights Varsity Athletic Teams. A true day to UKNIGHT!!!
As we continue the transition back to a new normal here on campus, we are extremely proud of the university and the efforts of our entire athletics department. It has taken a huge investment, both in time and resources, to get our programs in a place ready to move forward. Our student athletes, coaches and athletics staff have showed tremendous resiliency to make training, practice and game schedules possible and we are very excited to compete this season with fans in the stands. Our Golden Knights are so much more than competitors. They are model citizens on campus and the heart and soul of our community. The time is now to continue to show your support of their efforts, ensuring they continue to move forward on the pathway to championships. 
In the spirit of competition, Challenge Dollars are also up for grabs. The teams that have the largest number of donors, and increase their donor number percentage the most over last year's Athletics Giving Day, will receive additional prize money. EVERY donor and EVERY dollar makes an impact.
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to create new challenges and protocols for safely staging practice and training sessions as well as future competition protocol which has resulted in increased costs at a time when budget constraints have never been tighter.
Your gift will help us overcome these challenges.
We hope to see you all back in the stands this season!!!

THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU, GOLDEN KNIGHTS! Together, over 1,000 Clarkson donors have raised nearly 137,000 to make an impact on our athletic programs and student-athletes. With today being the big day, let's keep the momentum going and see if we can double both dollars and donors. If you haven't yet made your gift, and want to support your favorite team(s), click here! #letsCUgive
The donor list is getting pretty crowded! That's because 800 Golden Knights have stepped up and contributed over $114,000 for Clarkson’s student-athletes. But don't worry, there's still room to squeeze in more!
Golden Knights keep going for the kill, as another 100 donors have supported Clarkson Athletics. Hopefully we can dig up a few more donors to make sure our student-athletes experiences are set!
It's obvious that donors were ready to dive back into #letsCUgive as we freestyled our way right past 600 donors! I’m confident we will make a big splash today and fly to our next goal for our student-athletes. "Just keep swimming!"
Wheel. Snipe. Celly. #LETSGOTECH! We've had 500+ donors contribute nearly $80,000 to support Clarkson Athletics! THANK YOU!!! Let's keep the momentum going!
Keep rippin’ it, Golden Knights! Another 100 donors for a total of 400!!! Let’s get over the halfway mark before Wednesday! Which team will be leading us into the 2nd half?
Way to go, Golden Knights! We’ve reached the 300 donor mark! Currently, the Women’s Basketball team is in the running for MVP with 51 donors! Let’s keep the momentum going!
We have just under a week to go until Athletics Giving Day and we already have over 200 supporters! Women's Lacrosse is in the lead with 37 donors, but Women's Basketball isn't far behind! Bring on the competition!
Thank You Clarkson donors! With a week and a half to go until Athletics Giving Day, we've already had 100 supporters contribute to the campaign in support of our programs. THANK YOU! Your generosity is much appreciated!
