Colgate University's annual athletics fundraising challenge, March Mania, is officially underway. You can make your gift online or by calling 800-668-4428, today.

In this year's challenge:

• When gifts from members of the Colgate community total $813,000 across all athletics designations, a group of generous challengers will donate $175,000 to the Colgate Athletics Fund. The Colgate Athletics Fund supports department wide initiatives that benefit all of our varsity programs and student-athletes.
• Generous alumni, families, and friends have posted various dollar matches for each of our teams --- make a gift today to double your impact! 
• Alumni of our varsity programs are also challenged to help their team(s) beat their past March Mania participation — they'll be tallied throughout the challenge, and an additional $5,000 will be awarded to teams once their alumni donor goal is met. 

Visit colgate.edu/marchmania and click on your team's page to learn more.

Collective generosity expressed through annual spendable support ensures that our student-athletes have the resources necessary to compete at the highest level while receiving a top-tier education.

On behalf of Colgate's Division I student-athletes, coaches, and staff, thank you for your support.
