✔About


The William Smith Volleyball team is ready to serve up success this ADOD, but we need your support to help us reach our fundraising goals.

Your generosity during Athletics Day of Donors will help us to fund:

  • Travel to out-of-region tournaments to see the highest level of DIII competition, such as our trip to Chicago this past fall
  • Volleyball specific video technology and training resources
  • Continued enhancements to our team room, nutrition and recovery items, and team gear
  • Future team trip to Europe (that we're planning for summer 2026!)

Your support is crucial in empowering our student-athletes, providing them with the resources they need to excel both on the court and in the classroom. By upgrading equipment, expanding training opportunities, supporting travel to key matches and enhancing recruitment efforts, your generosity creates a lasting impact. Together, we can ensure our Herons have everything they need to achieve their goals.

Thank you for fueling our success!


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.

*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.

What a dramatic finish to ADOD!

This site crashed a few minutes before the end of Athletics Day of Donors because so many of you were trying to give at the same time. Now that the dust has settled and the giving day is over, it's another ADOD for the record books! Way to go! 💚🤍🧡💜
