About

Your giving during this challenge provides valuable resources to every student-athlete member of our intercollegiate athletic teams. Your gift today helps ensure that our student-athletes have a robust team experience. In addition, giving opportunities are available to support our strength and conditioning and sports medicine programs.

When you give to Hobart Athletics, you become a member of the Statesmen Athletic Association. When you give to William Smith Athletics, you become a member of the Heron Society.

Cynthia L. Caird L.H.D. ’12 generously funded the Caird Challenge (#CAIRDCHALLENGE) in memory of her late husband, James F. ’56, L.H.D. ’12, putting $25,000 in bonus cash for Hobart and William Smith athletic teams up for grabs!

  • The top three teams with the highest percentage of dollar goal
  • The top three teams with the best video
  • The top team with the most participation

**You will only be counted once toward the donor goal for each team you select!

LETS GO STATESMEN! LETS GO HERONS!

IT’S GAME ON!

P.S. If you have any difficulty making your gift, please contact Wendy Barnhart at (315) 781-3725 or barnhart@hws.edu, between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST. Thank you!

*Offline gifts will be counted after the close of the giving day to ensure accuracy. Note that the leaderboard may vary slightly from actual numbers because of this.
