About ✍️

Our JAX Athletics teams and the Spirit Squad will compete head-to-head for a potential total of $8,000 in 1st-place prizes! Athletic teams will be split into a GOLD and GREEN bracket based on team size and Dolphin Dash performance. There will be a first, second, and third-place winner in both brackets!


*Participation percentage based on total athletes on team roster.

Additionally, athletic teams will compete for these prizes within their brackets.

Help spread the word and raise support for your favorite team using the Dolphin Dash social media toolkit!

Note: Gifts made from this page that are not designated to a specific sport will be designated to the JU Athletic Association Fund automatically.
