What We're Fundraising For
Blugold Tennis has a long-standing history of excellence at UW-Eau Claire. To continue the legacy built over the past several decades, we need support from loyal fans like you. Your support for Tennis will benefit current and future athletes.
Tennis has two primary funding needs as we head into spring.
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 20 gifts, we’ll receive a $500 bonus, and hitting 25 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
Chris and Colleen Herzog are generously matching all gifts to Women's Tennis dollar-for-dollar up to $750! 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.
