BRINGING PIPER PRIDE TO LIFE
When you walk into our athletic facilities, you should immediately know you are in the home of the Hamline Pipers.
Last year, thanks to the generosity of our Piper community, we began transforming Walker Fieldhouse with new Hamline Athletics branding and graphics. This fall, we're ready for the next phase.
The Piper Athletic Association Fund is raising $2,500 to continue transforming Walker Fieldhouse and bring the incredible history of Hamline Athletics to life.
And thanks to a generous anonymous donor, the first $500 in gifts will be matched dollar for dollar!
This next phase will add bold new Piper graphics throughout our athletic spaces while beginning the development of an interactive digital history display celebrating the teams, student-athletes, coaches, championships, Hall of Famers, All-Americans, and unforgettable moments that have shaped Hamline Athletics.
Our goal is simple: create an environment that celebrates where we've been, showcases who we are today, and inspires the next generation of Pipers.
For our student-athletes, it's about PRIDE.
For our alumni, it's about HISTORY.
For our recruits, families, and fans, it's about experiencing what it means to be a PIPER.
Honor the Past. Celebrate the Present. Inspire the Future.
Help us continue transforming the home of Hamline Athletics.
Go Pipers!
*Any dollars raised more than our goal will go toward enhancing the Hamline athletics in this and upcoming years. If branding and graphics upgrades are canceled for any reason, donations to this campaign will go toward enhancing the Hamline athletics in this and upcoming years.
