The 2026 Athletic Day of Giving officially launches on June 9, but you can help build momentum today.
As we prepare to rally Shamrock Nation around a $175,000 goal in support of Catholic Central Athletics, we are inviting our alumni, parents, supporters, and friends to help spark the campaign before it begins.
One of the most impactful ways to make a difference is by initiating a matching gift or challenge gift. Matching and challenge opportunities create excitement, inspire participation, and encourage others to join in supporting our student-athletes. Whether you choose to match gifts dollar-for-dollar, unlock a challenge after a certain number of donors participate, or sponsor a specific program need, your leadership can help drive the success of this year’s Athletic Day of Giving.
Supporters also have the opportunity to make an early gift and help us start the campaign in the right direction before June 9 arrives. Early giving helps generate momentum, builds confidence across the community, and allows us to showcase strong support heading into the official launch.
New this year, donors will also be able to directly fulfill items through our Athletic Wish List, allowing supporters to completely offset the cost of equipment, technology, uniforms, training tools, and facility needs for the athletic program of their choice.
Together, we can continue strengthening one of the premier athletic traditions in the country while creating transformational experiences for the next generation of Shamrocks.
If you are interested in sponsoring a challenge, creating a match opportunity, or making an early gift, we invite you to join us in helping make the 2026 Athletic Day of Giving our biggest one yet.
