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 September 22nd 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.)
Thank you to all of our incredible donors for your support during the 8th Catamount Challenge! We are thrilled to announce 1,540 donors gave $408,075 during the challenge.
Your support makes a difference for every team, every coach, and every one of our student-athletes. Your gifts will help unlock opportunities for our student-athletes as they strive for excellence in the classroom and in competition.
This year our winning teams and programs are:
Most Overall Donors: Track & Field and Cross Country (454 donors)
Most Dollars Raised: Men's Lacrosse ($80,842 raised)
Most Alumni Donors: Swimming & Diving (87 alumni donors)
There's so much to celebrate today, but most importantly, this is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our student-athletes. Thanks to your support during this special week, they are entering the new academic year with the resources they need to achieve success!
Go Cats!
