About

MATCH MADNESS is back for its 5th year on Wednesday March 25, 2026!

Since 2022, you and hundreds of fellow donors have stepped up during Match Madness for our 500+ student-athletes! Because of your annual support, more than $225,000 has been provided to meet the greatest needs of our Mules and Jennies!


Match our excitement this year as we offer an exclusive, limited-edition UCM Athletics Mules or Jennies Beanie!* Available with a gift of $150 or more, this is a must-have accessory for fans of our champion teams. Be sure to claim yours quickly while supplies last! Adding to the madness, there will also be thousands of dollars in matching gifts available. YOU can further your own impact by offering your own matching gift for the team of your choice!


Tune in to our live Power Hour on Facebook at noon CST to hear from UCM coaches and student-athletes who are grateful for your support. When you participate in our Power Hour challenge**, you can maximize your contribution for your favorite teams!


You are the team behind the team, and your giving makes all the difference. Thank you for your support!

*Your charitable gift will be reduced by the fair market value of $20 for each Beanie.

**Multiple matches & challenges will launch during the Power Hour on March 25.
