About

The Hamline’s Men’s and Women’s Swim and Dive program has set a goal of raising $8,000 during Fall Athletics Fundraising week to help our swimmers and divers purchase tech suits for the championship season. Make your gift today and give Hamline swimmers and divers the competitive edge they need.

Gifts from family, friends, and alumni have always been essential to the success of Hamline’s Swim and Dive team. Your gifts have helped us with travel costs and moved us towards getting new training equipment to bring our athletes to the next level. Tech suits for the MIACs can give the swimmer the opportunity to set a personal best or to make program history. Please continue this tradition of giving and we look forward to showing you the results of what it means to be a Hamline supporter.

Roll Pipes!

*Any dollars raised over our goal will go toward enhancing the Hamline Swim and Dive program in this and upcoming seasons. If purchase of tech suits is canceled for any reason, donations to this campaign will also go toward enhancing the Hamline Swim and Dive 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!!
