What We're Fundraising For

Our Goal is to Beat our Best

Now in our fourth year of Athletics Giving Week, we are determined to surpass our best results yet. UWEC Director of Athletics, Jason Verdugo, has challenged all teams to exceed their top performance. If we reach our initial goal of 25 gifts, we’ll receive a $500 bonus, and hitting 30 will earn us an additional $500. Gifts are counted as one per household. Multiple gifts made from the same household will be disqualified from counting towards our goal.

Matching Gift Opportunity

In recognition of the incredible experience their daughter and her teammates had as Blugolds, the Mike and Julie Tomsyck family have generously created a $10,000 match in recognition of their daughter, Heidi Arciszewski and her UWEC Women’s basketball teammates from 2005-2009. Blugold Women's Basketball fan, Emilio Rinaldi, will be matching all gifts made during the week dollar-for-dollar up to $3,000, and women's basketball alum Megan (Murphy) Jacobson '01 is matching another $500. 

This means the first $13,500 to Women's Basketball will be doubled! Make your gift during Athletics Giving Week to take advantage of this opportunity to double your impact for our team. Additionally, Judy Kruckman '64 is challenging everyone to give back to our Blugold Women's Teams. Once we hit 250 gifts to any women's team, Judy will give $1,500 to the Judith Kruckman Women’s Opportunity Fund. When we hit 500 gifts to any women's team, she'll kick in another $1,500. And once we hit 1,000 gifts to any women's team, she'll donate $2,000. In total, that's $5,000 to support our Blugold women's teams through the Judith Kruckman Women’s Opportunity Fund!

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.
