About

The Hamline University Men’s and Women’s Track & Field and Cross Country Programs are seeking to raise money to help pay for three new team tents. The estimated total cost of the tents are $10,000, and we are asking for 45 donors to support the men’s programs and 45 donors to support the women’s programs to support this initiative. Please make a gift today and help support the T&F and Cross Country program as we continue to upgrade our facilities.

We are coming off a great year of recruiting new scholar-athletes to the program, adding 36 new members to Track & Field and Cross Country teams. Having team tents for the Cross Country and Outdoor Track & Field seasons will allow us to keep our scholar-athletes out of the sun, rain, and wind at competitions. We plan to purchase a large team tent that measures 20 feet by 10 feet, and two smaller tents that measure 10 feet by 10 feet. They will all have full coverage graphics of HU branding, and will also serve as a great recruiting tool at events such as the annual Hamline Elite Meet.

Please give now and help us provide the Hamline Track & Field and Cross Country scholar-athletes the equipment they deserve!

Thank you for your consideration, and Roll Pipes!

Any dollars raised more than our goal will go toward enhancing the Men’s and Women’s Hamline University Track & Field and Cross Country Programs in this and upcoming seasons.

Your gift helps us maintain quality, high-performing programs, recruit new scholar-athletes, fund critical training trips, enhance equipment and resources, and more. We appreciate your support! 

Due to your generosity: 

  • Women’s Basketball met their original goal of $6,000 and increased their goal to $7,000.
  • Men’s Basketball is at 96% of the way to reaching their increased goal of  $10,000 (increased from $8,000) and completed a matching gift, turning $3,000 into $6,000! 
  • Gymnastics is over 70% to their goal and still has $1,885 in matching gift funds available.
  • Men’s and Women’s Swim and Dive is over 50% to their goal, and completed a $1 for $1 match up to $1,000, turning $1,000 into $2,000!
