To commemorate the inaugural Athletics Day of Giving at Hanover College, we invite you to join us in support of the Women's Basketball Team by way of the Win for 10 Endowed Fund for Women's Basketball. An anonymous donor has generously offered to match, dollar for dollar, all gifts up to $100,000.
This fund will live in perpetuity at Hanover and will be part of the legacy at the College of all who support it. The name "Win for 10" honors #10 Lexi Riggles '22, who passed away unexpectedly during her senior year. It is also the team's pre-game chant and inspires them to leave it all on the court for Lexi.
Every year, the interest generated by the "Win for 10" fund will be used at the coach's discretion to enhance the experiential aspects of the program that build character, leadership, and community. Coach Jones envisions the funds being spent on team building and leadership development retreats, travel and hosting a memorial game or tournament in Lexi Riggles' memory.
You know firsthand that is is these skills and values that we develop as student athletes that shape who we are and how we approach life after Hanover. These are the experiences that our players remember long after they leave and that drive their success, both on and off the court.
We hope you'll join us in support of this fund today and take advantage of the match that will double the impact of your gift! This is an incredible opportunity to make a big difference for the program we love for generations to come!
Thank you in advance for your consideration. Go Panthers!
