The second-annual Battle of the Saints Giving Challenge is here, Hilltoppers! The Hilltoppers and the Rattlers have been facing off since
1937 — and last year we added this new chapter to the rivalry. After crushing St. Mary's last year, we must now fight to keep the Saints Cup on the Hilltop!
On March 27, we'll go head-to-head in a five-day Athletics fundraising battle royale. The challenge ends on March 31 at 11:59 p.m. CST, followed by a trophy presentation on April 6 at 6 p.m. at Dickson Stadium in San Antonio, where the Hilltoppers and Rattlers Baseball teams will play each other.
Help us keep the Battle of the Saints Cup on the Hilltop where it belongs! Your gift will support our talented student-athletes and raise our score against the Rattlers. Make your gift today and join the winning team.
