About

Hamline Men’s Basketball is setting a goal of raising $18,000 (up from $13,000 thanks to generous supporters and alumni) this Fall Athletics Fundraising Week to support team travel for non-conference and JV games. We are fortunate to have several basketball alumni donors starting off the campaign with a $5,000 dollar for dollar match, and we need you to take advantage of that match and make your gift today!

The Hamline Men’s Basketball team is coming off a historic four season run. We’ve had four consecutive winning seasons—a feat achieved by only three teams in the MIAC. We are excited to build off our recent successes and continue to take the program to new heights. To do so, the team will be competing against high-level non-conference opponents outside the Twin Cities area. We will also be scheduling more JV games to help develop all players on the roster in game situations.

From team meals to bussing, these non-conference trips and JV games won’t be possible without your help. Please make your gift today. Join us and continue the tradition of generosity that has built and sustains the great scholar-athlete experience that is Hamline Men’s Basketball.

Thank you for continuing to support our program, and we look forward to seeing you in Hutton Arena soon! GO PIPERS!!

*Any dollars raised over our goal will go toward enhancing the Hamline Men’s Basketball program in this and upcoming seasons. If team travel for non-conference and JV games is canceled for any reason, donations to this campaign will also go toward enhancing the Hamline Men’s Basketball 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!!
