Five to Fight: A Campaign for Iona University Athletics is the annual campaign generating philanthropic support for all of Iona University's Division I programs! After a one-year hiatus, we are excited for the campaign's return this December.

Five to Fight will run from December 1 through December 5, 2025. We are asking Gael Nation to rally around Iona's student-athletes to drive critical support for the advancement and sustainability of the Maroon & Gold. Your support creates lasting change across multiple areas:

• Assuring Competitive Excellence: Your support creates opportunities and provides resources for student-athletes to excel both in and out of the classroom, while allowing our coaches to recruit and develop future leaders.
• Modernizing Athletic Infrastructure: Your gifts allow us to continually improve our training spaces and acquire cutting-edge equipment, giving our student-athletes the tools they need to compete at the highest levels.
• Expanding Educational Access: Athletic and academic scholarships supported by donors like you helps make higher education accessible to our talented student-athletes.
• Strengthening Leadership: Your contributions help us attract exceptional coaches and staff while investing in their ongoing professional growth, ensuring our programs maintain the highest standards of excellence.

The generosity supporters like you – the team behind our teams – is the cornerstone of everything we accomplish. Each gift has an impact and helps us build a program that will attract and develop exceptional talent for years to come. With the unwavering support of family, friends, alumni and fans, we continue to see how powerful it is when Gael Nation comes together in support of our student-athletes. These five days are about spreading the word to renew support and welcoming those to Fight the Good Fight for the first time!

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to Iona University and for all you do to support our student-athletes – Go Gaels!
