About

The challenge is on for YSU Women's Basketball, and we need YOU to help us reach our fundraising goals.

Your support during Penguin Day helps provide meaningful experiences that strengthen our Women’s Basketball program both on and off the court, including:

  • Annual Team Retreat – creating an opportunity for team bonding, leadership development, and building relationships that carry throughout the season.
  • Enhanced Student-Athlete Experiences on Non-Conference Trips – providing our student-athletes with memorable educational, cultural, and team-building experiences while traveling to destinations such as Los Angeles, Colorado, and New York.

These opportunities go beyond competition. Your support allows our student-athletes to experience new places, grow together as a team, and create memories that will remain with them long after their time at YSU.

Every gift directly fuels the work that happens on and off the court: daily practices, strength and conditioning, film study and the chemistry that turns individual players into a team. Your support during this 24-hour challenge ensures our athletes are ready to meet every moment with confidence.

Step up. Make your impact. Help YSU Basketball crush our goals today, and all season long!

Support YSU Sports Performance This Penguin Day!

We're excited to highlight YSU Sports Performance as another important area you can support during Penguin Day!

Led by Mary Beth George, Associate Athletic Director for Sports Performance, the department plays a vital role in preparing student-athletes across all YSU athletic programs to train and compete at the highest level.

Donations to Sports Performance will help replace aging equipment, upgrade technology and provide new training resources that directly benefit our student-athletes.

Want to support Sports Performance? You can select Sports Performance from the giving options alongside our athletic teams on the Penguin Day donation page.

Every gift makes a difference in helping our Penguins reach their full potential!
