About

Your support fuels Piper Power!

Fall Athletics Fundraising Week (Sept 18-22) is here and is your chance to support Men’s Basketball scholar-athletes.

Hamline Men's Basketball scholar-athletes are excited for the upcoming season! Led by head coach, Jim Hayes '94, and backed by an experienced core of returning players and exciting newcomers, the foundation of the program is strong. Your gift will help ensure Men's Basketball scholar-athletes have the resources they need to succeed on and off the court.

Our goal for Fall Athletics Fundraising Week is $11,500 - updated from $7,000 due to generous early donors! The money we raise will go towards our trip to Daytona Beach this season, where we are excited to be playing two non-conference games. Your gift will help us to continue to provide a top-notch experience for each of our scholar-athletes, and help us reach new heights academically and athletically.

Also, we had a generous anonymous donor who matched the first $1,000 in gifts dollar for dollar, turning $1,000 into $2,000! Consider offering your own match and supporting Hamline Men's Basketball.

Fuel Piper success by giving by Friday, September 22, and help make the 2023 Piper Men’s Basketball season as exceptional as Hamline scholar-athletes!

Success comes when we all win… Better TOGETHER!
