Our Crowdfunding Groups
What We're Fundraising For
The Women's Track and Field 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 the legacy of excellence, we need support from loyal fans like you to continue to compete at the top level.
This year, we are looking for donations to help improve the student-athlete experience. We want to support our athletes by funding:
We currently have 50 high-end hurdles, which limits how we can manage our events. Doubling our number of hurdles will ensure we are adequately outfitted to host those events at Simpson Field.
To be the best, you have to compete against the best. To challenge our athletes who are consistently some of the best in the nation in their event, travel to bigger meets is essential for their development through the season. This year several Blugolds traveled to meets in Boston and Chicago helping them punch their tickets to the national championships. Your support helps fund these opportunities that are crucial to the help our Blugolds compete at the highest level.
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 $5,500, we’ll receive a $500 bonus, and hitting $6,000 will earn us an additional $500.
Matching Gift Opportunity
Pete Eckerline '82 is happily matching gifts all gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $2,500 for Women's Track and Field! 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.
