Gifts to Athletics contribute to...
Support the University of Dayton Division of Athletics
In an era of unmatched financial, regulatory and macroeconomic pressures, the Champions and Scholars Fund allows us the flexibility to support priorities amongst our athletic teams. The funds from One Day, One Dayton 2025 will directly enhance sports program operating budgets to provide student-athletes with resources that directly improve their experiences as they compete with their respective teams. This includes support for scholarships, travel, equipment, gear, training and practice facilities, licensing, nutrition, film, and strength and conditioning.
