💸 Donor impact: Support on and off the field
Because of contributions through Vikes Giving Day, we were able to:
- Provide financial support to every student-athlete
- Empower our athletes to give back by coaching in the community
- Support their holistic development—as competitors, scholars, and leaders
These donations create a ripple effect that reaches far beyond the pitch.
