Help Support UMW Athletics on Giving Tuesday, December 1!

GivingTuesday, the annual day to celebrate generosity is Tuesday, December 1, 2020. Join us in celebrating #GivingTuesday by making a gift to help support UMW Athletics and our student-athletes.

When you financially support Friends of Athletics, you are helping to provide critical funds that enhance the UMW student-athlete experience in the following ways:

  • Enhancing athletic facilities; including game day facilities, practice facilities, academic and study spaces, office spaces, auxiliary training spaces, and sport medicine facilities
  • Hosting nationally renowned speakers for the department, and entire campus, including topics like Back to the Nest (2019), Mental Wellness (2018), Diversity and Inclusion 2017
    and Psychology of peak performance (2016)
  • New sport-specific technology and teaching tools for practice
  • Strengthening support staff for the benefit of all teams in the areas such as athletic training staff, grounds
  • Boosting recruiting dollars for every team and professional development opportunities for head and assistant coaches and facilities staff, strength and conditioning staff and sports information/marketing staff
  • Custom training equipment and game day apparel for student-athletes
  • Upgrades for long-distance travel costs like hotels, buses, and high-nutrition meals
  • Enhanced recruiting and professional development opportunities for your coaching staff
  • Team programming and experiences for sport education and chemistry building

When you give to a specific sport program, you are joining those before you in committing to support a tradition of excellence in the classroom, in our community and every athletics competition.
