The HWS 2017 Athletics Day of Donors (#ADOD) is a 24-hour giving challenge to support both William Smith and Hobart Athletics. All teams -- regardless of size -- can compete to win bonus cash up to $3,000.
Each team has a donor participation goal (see list). Starting at 8 a.m. Monday, May 1, you can make a gift indicating your favorite team (up to 2 teams). You will be counted once toward the donor goal for each team you select.
Bonus cash prizes of $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000 will go to the teams (3 each William Smith and Hobart) with the highest percent of the donor goal achieved at the close of the contest at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
