What We're Fundraising For
The Women's Swimming and Diving team is a highly decorated and integral part of the UW-Eau Claire community. Our athletes follow the UW-Eau Claire mission of excellence to the highest standard. To continue this legacy of excellence, we need support from loyal fans like you to continue competing at the top level.
Help us enhance the meet-day experience, not only for our swimmers and divers but also for our fans like you! Our meet-day experience could use some help:
These upgrades will not only help our meets but also our practices. Your gift will help our athletes every time they train or compete in McPhee.
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 $6,000, we’ll receive a $500 bonus, and hitting $6,500 will earn us an additional $500.
Matching Gift Opportunity
Carolyn Sheild '84 is generously matching all gifts to Women's Swimming and Diving dollar-for-dollar up to $500! In addition, Judy Kruckman 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 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.
