THANK YOU for participating in our 5th annual department-wide giving week campaign as we have returned to some semblance of "back to normal" as we continue through a regular calendar of events as well as welcoming fans back in person to cheer on all of our teams.
For sure, the last year of competition was unlike anything we've ever seen in our department and from athletes, coaches, and staff a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported the Jags with donations, participation in Jags Giving Week last October, watching games online, or just sharing their support of IUPUI Athletics with friends and family. Our soccer, volleyball, swimming and diving, and cross country programs have all begun their championship seasons and they have been joined by golf, tennis and softball in competing this fall.
The purpose of this annual campaign is to raise awareness and encourage support from our friends, family and alumni while building a broader network of advocates for IUPUI Athletics. We know this can be a challenging time for many to consider a philanthropic gift – so many of our Jags Family has and continues to deal with personal and family challenges not thought possible just over a year ago.
We continue our annual tradition of Jags Giving Week with hope the time might be right for many of our community to extend their support to our IUPUI student athletes. With your generosity and
ROAR last year, we received more nearly 1,000 contributions during our 4th annual Jags Giving Week last October. It's time once again to raise the bar in support of our Jaguars student-athletes as we work through returning to full schedules this 2021-2022 season. We invite you to join us once again this year in our collective goal to inspire donations
during this week-long event from September 27th - October 3rd.
100% of your donation will be directed towards a designated fund or team of your choice – it's always your call! When we say every gift counts, we truly mean every gift counts. Contributions of all sizes will directly benefit our Jaguars student-athletes through academic support, facility improvements, equipment upgrades, athletic training and nutrition, unique travel opportunities and other team-specific funding priorities.

"It is undeniable that the last year has been incredibly challenging for all of us as a collective group of human beings. Our student athletes are no exception, like everyone else, they have faced challenges in every facet of their lives. I am doubling down on my efforts to continue to utilize soccer as a vehicle to affect the overall character development of the young men in our program as we strive to be great students, great athletes, and great people. It is my hope that when the time is right for you that you will continue to support our program in our ongoing quest for excellence in all that we do. In the past we have used Jags Giving Week to primarily solicit your financial support and while that is still required for us to provide the best student athlete experience possible I think more importantly, we need your moral support as we continue to uplift our student athletes through this challenging time." - Men's Soccer head coach Brian Barnett.
