STORRS, Conn. – On Tuesday, December 3, the Division of Athletics will participate in the National Day of Giving, which supports giving to causes that rally communities and affinity groups. This will be the fifth consecutive year UConn Athletics has campaigned on this day to raise money in support of its 19 programs and 2 athletic funds.
Throughout November, you will receive communications from the UConn Athletic Department and our teams in hopes you will mark your calendars for December 3rd. In each of these communications, we encourage you, your friends, and your family to support our many teams' needs.
Donations on Giving Tuesday will directly impact and enhance the UConn Athletics programs you love, helping fund important team operations such as travel, equipment, recruiting, team building, injury-prevention, and mental health services.
Last year, the Division of Athletics set a goal of $300,000 from 1,500 donors. Through UConn Nation's help, we surpassed that goal, raising a total of $323,000 from 1,600 donors worldwide. For four years straight, UConn Nation has continued to show our athletic programs immense support, nearly doubling Giving Tuesday donation amounts year-over-year. We look forward to seeing the growth in all our programs made possible by our donors from this day as we move forward into a new era of UConn Athletics.
This year, we are aiming to surpass $350,000 from over 1,750 donors. We hope that you consider participating in this special day and help provide our student-athletes with life-changing opportunities.
Fight On and Go Huskies!
