About

This year, with your help, William Smith Basketball 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!

William Smith Basketball needs your support in funding:

  • Supplementing our Assistant Coach’s salary (one month): $5,000
  • Supplementing travel costs for winter training trips: $10,000
  • Synergy (our team editing software): $3,000

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.

Wow! Together, our giving yesterday broke records for the most dollars raised for Hobart and William Smith in a single day. The unwavering and generous support of you - our Heron and Statesmen faithful – will impact the student-athlete experience in the year ahead. Thank you! Your gift will be put to work immediately; from purchasing new equipment, team travel, enhancements to facilities, team rooms or professional development, your giving is enhancing the student-athlete experience.

Thank you again for supporting our athletic programs. You’re a game-changer!

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.
