Here We Go Saints 2024

It’s another historic showing for our Here We Go Saints donor drive, with a record-setting $585,448 given from 2,800+ Laurentians to enhance and aid our student-athlete experience. This impact is profound, and everyone who dons the Scarlet & Brown should be proud today.

This project truly began with the support from Barry '69 and Pat Phelps '69, P'96, and we’ll never get tired of thanking them for their willingness to trail blaze alongside and on behalf of St. Lawrence. Thank you to the Phelps family, and all of our dedicated advocates who offered challenges and matches that compound both the impact and fun of Here We Go Saints.

The Scarlet & Brown Leaderboards have been finalized, with the top-5 teams in each category earning rewards based on percentage towards goal. Congratulations to each of our teams who earned these bonus bucks for bringing energy and excitement throughout the two days!

We look forward to cheering on the Saints throughout the 2024-25 seasons. Thank you again for your support, and for the last time during the 2024 edition…

HERE WE GO SAINTS!!

RUN, SAINTS, RUNNN!!! The Scarlet & Brown Sprint runs tonight from 6 - 7 p.m. ET, sponsored by an anonymous donor. Every gift that comes in this hour from a new challenge donor will land an additional $50 for the Saints!

Hustle up, Saints. Time is ticking!

Well that escalated quickly...

Over 2,000 donors are donning the Scarlet & Brown with pride, having given to Here We Go Saints 2024! The Phelps Family Challenge: Part II has been met, unlocking $20,000 to the athletic department to continue to provide a dynamic student-athlete experience. Our coaches, student-athletes, and the entire Laurentian Community are so grateful for their generosity.

There is less than 7 hours remaining in HWGS 2024 and now, the competition gets fierce! Teams are jockeying for position on the Scarlet & Brown Leaderboards. Who will earn the coveted bonus bucks?!

Dig in Saints. Make today count.

Here We Go Saints 2024 is a breakaway performance, as we’re fighting the urge to slow down after 1,800+ donors have helped us sound the Appleton siren! We’re trying to avoid overtime and could use an assist to get to 2,000 donors. Let’s form the Flying V and use the triple-deke to light the lamp AGAIN and earn $20,000 for the Saints!

"There’s nine hours remaining in the challenge, niiiine hours…"

Here We Row Saints! Shout out to the Saints Rowing program, which continues to rise and shine during our annual donor drive. Coaches Hughes and Repicky’s program sit atop the Brown Leaderboard for alumni-only gifts, and are second in the Scarlet standings. But they know we’re FAR from the finish line, and there’s no time to catch a crab!

In the early hours of Day 2 of HWGS 2024, donors have helped us surpass the 1,600 donor mark and we’re on a great pace to achieve 2k supporters, the Phelps Challenge: Part II’s goal.

Coffee? Check. Saints gear? Check. Refresh button working? Check.

It’s a great day to be a SAINT! Let’s get to work…

Saints across the country and around the world showed today they’re natural sprinters, racing to achieve our initial goal of 1k donors. Now, it’s time to find out if we are also built for the long distance!

The Phelpses love a good a sequel, and they want to continue the momentum for the Scarlet and Brown by offering The Phelps Family Challenge Part II: 2k for $20K. If we can avoid a cool-down and reach 2,000 donors before 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Sept. 25, the Phelps Family will add an additional $20,000 to their support of Saints Athletics.

To the starting line, Saints…GO!!!

Thank you to Barry ’69 and Pat Hitchcock Phelps ’69, P’96 for sponsoring the Phelps Family Challenge again this year! #LaurentianLegends

Here We Go Saints is obviously a keeper! Over 800 Laurentians have thrown in a gift to try and help us cross off the Phelps Family Challenge. We won’t be indirect: it’s such an advantage to have supporters like you. To those yet to make a gift: don’t be a goldfish!

Let us be clear: we’ve achieved $25,000 of the Phelps Family Challenge thanks to 500+ donors! It’s been a breakout morning, and we’ve managed to dodge major issues. But now, it’s time to attack our goal for the Saints.

We’re golf-clapping fore our 400+ donors who are teeing up our student-athletes for success. To those choosing to putter around: don’t put us in a hole! Make your gift to show us some green to ensure we don’t have a rough day.

Our favorite part of the Here We Go Saints donor drive - alumni, parents and friends have our student-athletes’ backs. Over 200 donors have come off the bench and locked arms to help us achieve our goals brick by brick. The key thing to remember: this is no slam dunk, so get your mobile devices charging to make your gift and follow along today!

Well, Well, Wells...here we go (again) Saints! Our first 100+ donors suited up and put the pedal down to land the opening $5,000 of the Phelps Family Challenge. We know it's early and you may be tired, but don't tap the brakes now, as the margin for error is Razor thin. Let's keep rollin' towards 200!
