Hockey - Women's
What We're Fundraising For
The Women's Hockey team is integral to the UW-Eau Claire community. 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 at the top level.
The Blugold women's hockey program has worked hard to become one of the top programs in the nation. Thanks to last year’s generous donors, the program was able to put new lockers into the locker room! There are still updates needed for this space and the program would like to remodel their hallway to honor their past and the Blugolds that made the program what it is today! As the team continues to grow and find success, the team areas and locker room need additional upgrades. The Blugolds would also like to honor their past and those who paved the way for success. And, as hockey families know, hockey gear is expensive, and our players are responsible for paying for some of that out of their own pockets. All dollars raised during DIII Week will go towards upgrading the team locker room and hallway and helping the program with equipment costs. Help us give our players the support that reflects the level of play our Blugolds put out on the ice!
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 $7,000, we’ll receive a $500 bonus, and hitting $7,500 will earn us an additional $500.
Matching Gift Opportunity
An anonymous Blugold athletics supporter is generously matching all gifts to Women's Hockey dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000! Make your gift during Athletics Giving Week to double your impact. Additionally, Judy Kruckman is challenging everyone to give back to our Blugold Women's Teams. Once we hit 100 gifts to any women's team, Judy will give $1,500 to the Women’s Opportunity Fund. When we hit 200 gifts to any women's team, she'll kick in another $1,500. And once we hit 300 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.
