What We're Fundraising For
The Women's Lacrosse team is a new and important part of the UW-Eau Claire community. Despite being the new kids on the block, Blugold Women's Lacrosse has made a name for itself in only its fourth season. As the team continues to reach new heights, their gear is starting to show the wear and tear of collegiate play, and now is the time for a reinvestment in the program's equipment. From sticks for all players to new goalie gloves and helmets, the team needs $6,500 to outfit the players in new gear. Donations during DIII Week will kick start the efforts to ensure the Blugolds are adequately equipped in 2026.
Make a gift to support Women's Lacrosse, which will help our young program continue to grow and compete at the top level. Your generous support will play an important role in maintaining and growing UW-Eau Claire Lacrosse.
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
Former Provost, Pat Kleine, is generously matching all gifts to Women's Lacrosse dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000. Make your gift during Athletics Giving Week to double your impact. 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.
