Football
The Blugold Football team is an integral part of the UW-Eau Claire community as one of the oldest teams on campus. Our athletes follow the UW-Eau Claire mission of excellence to the highest standard. To continue the legacy of excellence, we need support from loyal fans like you to continue to compete and recruit.
Our program has several projects that need your help:
In addition, as training continues to evolve with advanced research, so does the recovery process for student-athletes. Now, with the help of our strength and conditioning coaches, our coaches are better able to train our players and are taking it a step further by aiding them in the recovery process and ensuring they are getting enough food during the day.
That is why the football program invested in a new fueling station within the football office. Stocked with items proven to help with recovery, such as bread and peanut butter, protein bars and a fridge stocked with chocolate milk, players can stop from the weight room to the locker room or stop in between glasses to get what they need. However, with such an extensive roster, keeping the fueling station stocked costs $400 a week. A donation of any amount can make a difference for one of our players.
Operating an elite football program is expensive. The annual budget cannot cover all the costs needed at times. A donation to the John Kell Football Endowment allows the program to run at an elite level.
Erik Meyer '02 is happily matching all donations dollar-for-dollar up to $1,500! Take advantage of this opportunity to double your impact for Blugold Football.
Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you cheering us on this Fall. We are grateful for every student-athlete, coach, athletic trainer, administrator, and fan of Blugold Football and can’t wait to see what our future has in store for us. Go Blugolds!
Gifts are counted as one per household per team. Please do not give a gift to the same team for you, your spouse, your child etc. because you all will only be counted as one gift towards the challenge. There is an option to jointly make your gift from you and your spouse to ensure you are both credited for your generosity.
Your generous gift of $2,000 will fund the fueling station for one month
