Welcome to Bleed Green Athletic Day of Giving
A message from Dr. Andy Peterson:

Thank you for your continued support of Bearcat Athletics. Giving to the Bearcats Bleed Green Fund has a direct and positive impact on our student-athletes as we strive to provide a collegiate athletic experience we all can be proud of! 

This year's event is going to be focused on PARTICIPATION and NUMBER of donors over the amount of money raised. We are trying to build our base and foundation of Bearcat Nation in a way that our contributors feel connected and a part of the programs they support. We are excited about some of the initiatives and donors who have already stepped up to provide some challenges and resources that will make the Day of Giving a fun event for all involved and have a substantial impact this year and beyond. We hope you'll consider being a part of this time in our department's history as we set ourselves up to be a significant player in the world of NCAA Division II athletics for years to come.

Thank you so much! God Bless and Go Bearcats!
