Gifts to Support the Hamline Weight Room contribute to...
Spring Athletics Fundraising Week is here and this is your chance to support the Hamline Strength and Conditioning program.
Our goal is to raise $3,500 to purchase 20 Hex Weightlifting Bars which allow for increased loads while enhancing the anatomical positioning of the body to ensure safe movement patterns.
Hundreds of Hamline students and scholar-athletes make use of Hamline’s weight room every year. A vibrant weightlifting area with quality equipment helps boost athletic performance and fosters a positive fitness culture on campus. Hex (or trap) bars are used for a variety of training movements, and they reduce stress on the lower back and provide an improved starting position.
Fuel Piper success by giving by Friday, February 9th, and help improve the Hamline weight room experience for all Piper scholar-athletes and students.
Success comes when we all win… Better TOGETHER!
