About

This year, with your help, HWS Sailing is ready to smash our fundraising goals. Athletics Day of Donors has been going strong for five years now, each year blasting through the previous year’s record. So this year, it’s for all the marbles, and we are in it to win it!

HWS Sailing needs your support in funding:

  • Equipment: We aim for $8,000 to fund new equipment, equipment repairs and maintenance supplies, as these are necessary expenses that keep us on the water.
  • COVID-19 Travel Relief: If we can fundraise $10,000, it will help the team with travel expenses to compete throughout the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. The cost of traveling has skyrocketed. Funding will support the cost increases in transportation, lodging and meals due to COVID-19.

As always, your support is the backbone of our program's success. Without you, NONE of this would be possible! You help our athletes feel like champions every day!

 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.

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

ADOD EXTENDED

Message from Brian Miller - Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics and Recreation


In the last hour of Athletics Day of Donors, there was so much traffic to the GiveCampus site that our faithful and generous Hobart and William Smith community crashed it! As a result, we have extended the Day of Donors by 2 hours. If you haven't already made your gift there is still time! The site will now shut down at 2:30 p.m.
