The Catamount Challenge is all about supporting your favorite team or athletic program - with a dash of friendly competition thrown in for fun. Make a gift by October 23 at noon and help them win prizes up to $5,000!
There are three prizes a team or program can win:
(1) $2,500 for most overall donors
(2) $1,500 for most dollars raised
(3) $1,000 for most alumni donors
Any gift above $5 to any team or program counts!
And there are just two simple rules to the competition:
1. One gift per person, per team. But, you can give one gift to as many teams as you'd like, so go crazy!
2. Don't make gifts on behalf of other people. Instead, become an advocate and share!
All gifts to athletic teams will go directly to their excellence fund. And whatever team or program you support, your gift directly helps students. So, make your gift today and support our amazing students!
(Note: Gifts during the challenge do not qualify for Victory Club benefits.)
What an amazing Catamount Challenge! Because of the generosity of donors, we broke all the overall records this year! Most dollars raised. Most donors. Most alumni donors.
