#MaryWashDay has ended, but you can still support our Eagles!
Athletics

When you make a gift to support UMW Athletics, you are investing in the student-athlete experience in the following ways:

  • Development and programming for departmental leadership training and national leadership opportunities for the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)
  • Boosting recruiting dollars for every team and professional development opportunities for head and assistant coaches
  • Enhancing athletic facilities, including those for game day, practice, and sports medicine, as well as spaces for academics and studying, offices, auxiliary training
  • New sport-specific technology and teaching tools for practice
  • Custom training equipment and game day apparel for student-athletes
  • Upgrades for long-distance travel costs like hotels, buses, and high-nutrition meals
  • Team programming and experiences for sports education and chemistry building

We need all athletic alumni, parents, families, faculty, staff, students, and friends to join #TogetherUMW to help us reach our goals on this #MaryWashDay.
