The biggest UVM Athletics fundraiser of the year is finally here!
From Monday, October 20 to Sunday, October 26 at 11:59 p.m., this is your chance to make an impact for your favorite team.
Catamount Challenge is all about supporting your team and making a difference for our student-athletes—with a dash of friendly competition thrown in for fun.
Make your gift by October 26 and help your team win prizes of up to $5,000!
Teams and programs can win:
-
$2,500 for most overall donors
-
$1,500 for most dollars raised
-
$1,000 for most alumni donors
Any gift of $5 or more to any team or program counts!
There are just two simple rules:
-
One gift per person, per team — but you can give to as many teams as you’d like!
-
Don’t make gifts on behalf of others. Instead, become an advocate and spread the word!
All gifts go directly to support our incredible teams. No matter which team you support, your gift helps our student-athletes succeed.
Make your gift today and support our amazing Catamounts!
(Note: Gifts during the challenge do not qualify for Victory Club benefits)
