About

Who would win between football and basketball? Lacrosse and tennis? Golf and volleyball? Weโ€™ll never have a definitive answer, but with the Cardinal Athletics Giving Challenge, we level the playing field so that the varsity sports can compete against each other.

In this 8-day challenge from October 22-29, you can help your favorite teams compete for glory and prizes. Up to 6 teams could win prize money! The first, second, and third place teams in the categories of most donors and highest participation will take home additional prize money for their program.
