CARLISLE, Pa. - On Tuesday, April 1st, Dickinson College held its annual campus-wide Day of Giving and just like every year Red Devil athletics were well represented. On the day, nearly 1,400 (1,345) alumni, friends, families, and current student-athletes came together to raise over $350,000 across all athletic programs as well as the general McAndrews Fund for Athletics. The McAndrews Fund supports the intercollegiate experiences of current Dickinson student-athletes by enabling each of Dickinson's 25 athletic programs to recruit and develop premier student-athletes, invest in state-of-the-art facilities, travel nationally and internationally for training and community service projects. It also allows for the purchase of vital and essential equipment to give Dickinson athletes the greatest chance to compete at the highest levels. In addition, the fund provides Dickinson College the necessary outlet to hire and cultivate top coaches.
"We are incredibly grateful to all who continue to be a champion for Red Devil Athletics" stated Dickinson's Director of Athletic Celine Cunningham. "I was so impressed to the outpouring of support from our alumni, our families and fans of Dickinson Athletics. Every gift no matter the size, directly impacts our student-athletes in every facet of their Dickinson College experience."
Dickinson College Athletics would like to thank all of Red Devil Nation for their continued support of athletics and we hope to see all of our donors at a home event soon.Â
