During the month of March, all former student-athletes and Bulldog fans are being challenged to make a gift to UNC Asheville Athletics. Your gift directly impacts today’s scholar-athlete by providing scholarships, tutoring, and essential academic support that allow your Bulldogs to compete at the highest level.

In 2016, more than 200 student-athlete alumni accepted the Bulldog Challenge, raising more than $20,000 to support current programs and students. Now the Challenge is back for year four, and this year is set to be bigger and better than ever! Teams will be competing for highest percentage participation, highest number of alumni contributing, and most dollars raised.

Last year, women's soccer led the Challenge in the number of donors, while men's soccer raised the most funds. Swimming took alumni participation, with 100 percent of alumni giving back. Will these teams once again dominate the competition, or will another team claim victory? You decide! 

Thank you to our Bulldog Challenge sponsor, Movement Mortgage, The Winters Team
