Athletic Excellence

On this Giving Tuesday help take UMW Athletics to the next level!

This year, your gift to Friends of Athletics will directly support critical needs for our Sports Medicine Team, Sports Information, and Varsity Weight Room.

Sports Medicine

Your gift will help us strengthen the care and rehabilitation resources available to our student-athletes. Gifts will support sports medicine equipment designed to assist recovery and return-to-play efforts:

  • Two Game Ready cryotherapy units — $2,500 each ($5,000 total): Help reduce swelling and inflammation after injury.
  • One half-rack weight rack — $2,500: Support functional performance training as student-athletes return from injury.
  • One electrical stimulation unit — $3,000: Assist sports medicine staff in providing therapy.

Total funding goal: $10,500. Your gift this #GivingTuesday will help equip our sports medicine staff with tools to support student-athletes throughout recovery.


Varsity Weight Room

Help us upgrade our weight room with high-quality, versatile equipment that will serve students and athletes for years to come. Gifts will support Sorinex Base Camp dual-sided half racks, featuring laser-numbered rack sides, plate storage, J-hooks, spotter bars, landmine attachments, multi-grip pull-up bars, and custom laser-cut logos. Their compact 4′ × 6′ footprint will make better use of the room while giving larger groups more space to train and allowing for a more flexible schedule.

Gifts will also help replace our worn-out benches with adjustable lifting benches that are easier to move, store, and use. Your support can help create a more functional, welcoming training space for everyone.
