Intercollegiate Athletics

September 30–October 1, 2026

Athletics at Wright State is about excellence. We are committed to helping our student-athletes develop as people, students, and athletes—as well as supporting the mission of Wright State University.

Your gift can be designated to any of our athletic programs, and entitles you to annual Raider Athletic Fund membership benefits. Money raised will go toward the funding of scholarships and programs for our student athletes.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. #WrightDay2Give

A decade ago, Wright Day to Give began as an initiative to bring the Wright State community together in support of our students. Now, as we celebrate its 10th anniversary, we invite you to Give Back to the Pack and help shape the next decade of student success.

This year is a celebration of our generous donors, our incredible Wright State community, and the collective impact we can make when we come together. Your support helps us invest in our students and create opportunities that can make a lasting impact.

Be sure to watch your inbox and follow us on social media for exciting opportunities to make your donation Go Further with donor matches and special incentives on Wright Day to Give.
