Colby Athletics and Recreation is driven by goals, fueled by challenges that require focus, teamwork, and determination. Throughout the month of February, our community will rally together and prove what’s possible by supporting the True Blue '22 Challenge.
When the goal of 1,000 donors toward Friends of Athletics is reached, a generous gift of $25,000 from Steve Cummings ’77 will be unlocked for the Athletic Director’s Fund in order to support Colby Athletics’ most pressing needs.
In addition, when we secure more than 2,500 donors we will unlock an incredible gift of $100,000 to benefit all athletics and recreation.
Many generous alumni and friends have offered challenges and matches designed to help you maximize your impact on the program that means the most to you.
Reach for the goal. Inspire participation. Demonstrate your Colby pride.
Stay true. Bleed blue. Go Mules!
If you have any questions, please contact the Colby Fund office at 800-311-3678 or colbyfund@colby.edu.
*One match per person. Match or challenge dollars will go to the designation chosen by the donor who made the incentive possible.
