About

Raise the Standard. Invest in Our Future.

At Catholic University, we are committed to building a football program that develops young men of character, competes at the highest level, and represents our university with pride. As we continue to Raise the Standard, we need the support of our alumni, families, and friends to provide our student-athletes with the resources necessary to succeed both on and off the field.

This Cardinals Day of Giving, we are raising funds to make critical investments in player safety, technology, recruiting, and team travel.

Your support will directly impact five key areas:

  1. Player Safety โ€“ New Helmets and Shoulder Pads: Upgrade our protective equipment to provide our student-athletes with modern helmets and shoulder pads that prioritize safety, comfort, and performance.
  2. Player GPS Performance and Safety Technology: Invest in GPS tracking systems to monitor player workloads, measure performance, improve recovery, and help our coaching and sports medicine staffs make informed decisions to reduce injury risks.
  3. Recruiting and Team Travel: Enhance our recruiting efforts by providing our coaches with the resources to identify and attract future Cardinals nationwide. Improve in-season team travel to ensure our student-athletes have the accommodations, nutrition, and preparation needed to perform at their best on game day.
  4. Coach-to-Player Communication Technology: Upgrade our current headset system to incorporate coach-to-player communication technology. As this technology becomes an important part of the modern game, we must close the gap with programs that have already implemented these systems.
  5. Game Day Video Replay Technology: Modernize our sideline replay system to provide coaches and players with faster, clearer video access, allowing us to make critical in-game adjustments and improve communication and decision-making.

Our mission is simple: Provide our student-athletes with a first-class experience while building a program that competes for championships.

Every gift, regardless of size, helps us move forward. Your investment goes beyond equipment and technology. It supports the development of our student-athletes, strengthens our program, and helps establish a foundation of sustained success.

The Opportunity Is Now. The Standard Is Rising.

Thank you for believing in Catholic Football and investing in the future of our Cardinals.

GO CARDS!
