Our 2nd Catawba Day of Giving was a tremendous success. Last year, Catawba Athletics raised $49,500 with 180 gifts.  A very special thank you to Bill ’66 and Rosemary Hall for making the challenge gift of $1000 to the team with the most number of gifts and $1000 to the team that raised the most money.

Congratulations to the Catawba Women’s Soccer team with 170 gifts and the Catawba Men’s Lacrosse team with $14,600 raised.

Thanks to Lewis Moore for making a 2nd gift on the Day of Giving in honor of the 1968 Seniors on the Catawba Football team.

We finally have some results to report. Catawba Day of Giving.  View the current totals.

Sometimes You, Sometimes Me, Always Us.

OUR 2nd Catawba Day of Giving was a tremendous success and a very team TEAM effort including the entire Catawba Office of Development Staff, Catawba Athletic Coaching Staff, and the Catawba Athletic Administration.

Last year we did $49,500 and had 180 gifts for our different Catawba Athletic programs and support groups.

Our leader last year was our Catawba Men’s Lacrosse team with  46 gifts and raised $9373.

This year our leading number of gifts was the Catawba Women’s Soccer team with an incredible 170 gifts.  That is 124 more gifts than the leader had last year.

For the 2nd year, the Catawba Men’s Lacrosse team with the same head coach for 27 years once again led in the money raised with $14,600. That is right at $5000 more than our leader last year.
