Give Marquette Day: Fuel Student-Athlete Success

0:00On March 2nd, give Marquette Day is a 24-hour fundraising push for Marquette University athletics. It targets excellence funds for sports like men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball, men's golf, women's swimming and diving, track and field, cross-country, men's and women's lacrosse, soccer, and tennis. Alumni, parents, fans, and friends can donate directly to their favorite programs with every gift making a real difference for student athletes. These contributions buy essential gear and support training to help teams compete at top levels. The event builds on the Marquette community's strong tradition of backing both athletics and academics. Fans are stepping up big time through special challenges and matches. For example, the M Club pledges $1,000 per sport if 15 former athletes donate. Several matches double gifts, like up to $5,000 for men's golf, $10,000 for men's soccer, and $10,000 for women's volleyball.

1:01Participation goals unlock bonuses too, such as $10,000 from the 2016 men's lacrosse team at 75 donors. With these incentives in play, give Marquette Day shows how collective support fuels ongoing success for Marquette's student athletes across the board.
