About

Hamline Baseball has set a goal of raising $25,000 during Fall Athletics Fundraising Week to help fund team travel to Kansas, Iowa, and Arizona. Make your gift today to directly fund crucial team travel – including challenging non-conference games and our essential Spring Training trip.

Hamline Baseball student-athletes strive for excellence both on-and-off the field. They commit daily to rigorous workouts, dedicated practice, and intense competition – all while consistently achieving outstanding academic results. We're incredibly proud that we have earned the American Baseball Coaches Association Academic Excellence Award for the past six years for having a team GPA above a 3.30.

This year, we are excited to be able to head back to Kansas the weekend of February 20th & 21st. We are also excited to head back to Tucson, Arizona for our Spring trip from March 4th-14th where we will play 8 Varsity games and 2 JV games.

Your support makes all of the difference – allowing Pipers to train, compete, and excel. Every dollar helps provide the resources our student-athletes need to prepare for success.

If you are supporting a specific player, make sure to note the player's name in the "In Honor Of" section after you complete your gift.

Thank you for your support!

*Any dollars raised more than our goal will go toward enhancing the Hamline Baseball program in this and upcoming seasons. If the trip is canceled for the team or for an individual player for any reason, donations to this campaign will go toward enhancing the Hamline Baseball program in this and upcoming seasons.

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!!
