About

The Wingate Athletics Champions Campaign is an exciting, week-long fundraising event that will take place from November 11-15, 2024. This inaugural campaign aims to rally the support of alumni, parents, and friends to help advance the success of Wingate University’s 26 athletic teams and over 800 student-athletes.


After a remarkable year that included a team national championship, a departmental GPA of 3.17, and 16 conference championships, Wingate Athletics is eager to build on this momentum. The Bulldogs' outstanding achievements, including two individual national titles and a fourth-place finish in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings, highlight the growing legacy of Wingate Athletics.

Choose to contribute to your favorite team, support cheerleading, The Spirit of the Gate marching band, or donate to the Bulldog Athletics Fund to address Athletics’ greatest needs. Every dollar raised during the campaign will be directed 100% to the chosen team, ensuring direct impact.

Your contribution will help drive further success for the Bulldogs. Join us in continuing the legacy of excellence for Wingate Athletics
