About


Fall Athletics Fundraising Week is here! Join your fellow Pipers and support Hamline student-athletes who bring incredible commitment to competition, the classroom, and their community. Your support allows us to give that same level of commitment back to them.

Gifts during Fall Athletics Fundraising Week directly enhance the student-athlete experience by providing:

  • Opportunities to Compete: Travel, training, and competition experiences that help our student-athletes pursue excellence.
  • Resources to Succeed: Equipment, technology, and facilities that allow our programs to compete at their best.
  • Development Beyond Sport: Leadership, service, and team experiences that prepare our student-athletes for life after Hamline.

At Hamline, our mission goes beyond wins and losses. We are Graduating WINNERS—developing young people who Learn, Compete, Serve, Connect, and Lead. Your gift is an investment in our student-athletes and the experiences that will shape them for a lifetime.

We started strong AND we are going to finish stronger!

Thanks to your incredible support, Fall Athletics Fundraising Week has seen phenomenal success!

We started strong AND we’re going to finish stronger! 

While we’ve accomplished so much together, these final hours are critical. We have until midnight tonight to make this one of the most successful Fall Athletics Fundraising Week campaigns ever, and we need your help for one last, powerful push.

It takes less than one minute to make an impact:

📣 Share, Share, Share!

  • Did you know? People are 44% more likely to support a cause when asked by a friend or 

when they see someone they know promoting it.

  • Click and share this campaign on your social media platforms and ask your friends to support Piper student-athletes.

📣 Campaign Needs and Highlights:

  • Piper Athletic Association (PAA) Fund only needs $300 more to reach their goal! Supporting the PAA Fund directly benefits ALL student-athletes across every sport to  enhance athletics facilities and the overall Piper athletic experience.
  • Goal-Crushers: Huge congratulations to Baseball, Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Hockey, and Gymnastics for meeting their original fundraising goals—with a couple  teams hitting their increased goals!
  • Matches Unlocked: 7 out of 8 matching gifts have already been claimed, making your donor dollars go twice as far for Piper student-athletes. 

Thank you for all you do to support the exceptional Hamline athletic experience!

Channeling Momentum: Fall Athletics Fundraising Week

Thanks to donors like you, the wind is at our backs this Fall Athletics Fundraising Week. Hamline student-athletes, coaches, alumni, friends, family, supporters, staff, and faculty have hit the ground running and we are already over 50% of the way to our overall goal.  But there is still work to be done if we want to finish as strong as we have started. 

Opportunities to increase your impact:

  • Share your favorite Hamline team’s campaign page on your social media accounts and with your networks.
  • There are thousands of dollars left in matching gift funds! 
  • Please consider an additional gift to the Piper Athletic Association (PAA) Fund, which supports ALL student-athletes at Hamline University.

Due to your generosity: 

  • Men’s Basketball has met their $5,000 match, hit their original goal of $13,000, and re-upped their goal to $16,000. They’ve upped their goal to $16,000.
  • Gymnastics has completed their $4,000 match!
  • The Piper Athletics Association Fund has completed their $500 match.

Piper athletic teams are only able to have rewarding opportunities and experiences with donor support. Due to your generosity we’re able to maintain quality, high-performing programs, recruit new student-athletes, fund critical training trips, enhance equipment and resources, and more.

Thank you!!
