AUGSBURG ATHLETICS - MEN'S LOCKER ROOM PROJECT
We are excited to be fundraising for our men's locker rooms. The improved men's locker room space will feature separate locker rooms for teams, renovated showers, improved laundry facilities and equipment room. We want each of our student-athletes to have their own private team locker room with their own personal locker all four years of their athletic careers.
Please consider a gift to the men's locker room project. Gifts at all levels make a difference for our student athletes and provides a first-class experience.
BASEBALL
Support Auggie baseball! Augsburg University baseball players are looking forward to bringing home a MIAC baseball title this spring! Part of this championship process is an annual trip to Arizona for a week full of varsity/reserve games. We always love support from our beloved fans/alumni to make the trip the best experience possible for each player. Thank you for your time and consideration!
MEN'S BASKETBALL
We plan to represent Augsburg with a pledge to blue-collar hard work, sacrifice and a commitment to the entire Augsburg community. Through our determination, we remain dedicated to turning Augsburg men's basketball into a nationally competitive power. In order for us to achieve the goals we've set, we ask you to continue to support the Augsburg men's basketball family. Due to increased support in recent years, we've been able to travel to various locations around the United States, giving our student-athletes valuable experiences they will cherish for a lifetime. This season, in addition to our annual trip, we hope to also raise funds for new uniforms and locker room upgrades. Thank you so much for your support and we hope to see you in Si Melby Hall this season.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Our Augsburg women's basketball team is asking you to consider making a donation on Minnesota's Give to the Max! Our goal of $7,500 will help to cover the costs for uniforms, leadership instruction, travel and technology for this coming season. With the many expenses associated with school and sports today, we are asking you to make an investment in our players and our program. The impact of your gift coincides directly with the quality experience of the student-athlete's education and athletic experience at Augsburg. We hope you can help. Your generosity truly makes a difference and is sincerely appreciated.
MEN'S/WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
Each August, the Auggie cross county team takes a pre-season training trip to the northwoods. We spend those days preparing for our season by training and bonding away from campus and the distractions of the city. This trip is so valuable because it gives us a chance to reconnect after a summer away, and it gives our first-year and transfer student-athletes the opportunity to get to know the team. The coaches get the opportunity to start forming the meaningful relationships that make Augsburg so special. Our training trip is a highlight of the season, and we really look forward to getting to spend time together at such a beautiful location. Our goal is to raise $4,000 to fund our trip next year. Thank you for your generosity and support of Auggie cross country!
FOOTBALL
This year we have the goal of raising $30,000 for new helmets for our increased roster. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!
MEN'S/WOMEN'S GOLF
Support the Augsburg men's & women's golf teams! The Augsburg golf teams are looking forward to a spring break training trip in March! Both teams are headed south to get out of the snow and back on to the green grass. Your gift will help to offset the cost of the trips and create a memory of a lifetime!
MEN'S HOCKEY
Dear Auggie men's hockey family: We are excited to invite you back to join our team and donate to support the men's hockey team this fall! This year we are raising money for: player equipment and apparel, new and improved video editing capabilities for game film, post-practice and pre/post game nutrition, team equipment, and locker room area graphics. We need your help to support this successful program so we can stay at the top! Please consider making a gift to help us provide each player with the best, most professional experience we can provide! We thank you for your continued support of the Augsburg men's hockey program.
WOMEN'S HOCKEY
We want to raise $10,000 to support the women's hockey team this year in an effort to continue to provide a first-class experience for our student athletes, and make sure they are equipped, fueled, and have all the resources they need to succeed on the ice and off. Our locker room renovation made a tremendous impact on our players and program. It's not too late to make a commitment that will have a lasting difference! You can still secure a permanent locker sponsorship for a gift in the amount of $1,000, and a temporary sponsorship for a gift of $250. Both will be displayed in the locker room and showcases your commitment to ensuring the success of Augsburg women's hockey. If you are not able to make a gift at that level, please trust that ANY amount helps! Every donation adds up and is greatly appreciated.
WOMEN'S LACROSSE
This year, the women's lacrosse team is hoping to raise $10,000 for the lacrosse program to support travel costs. We need your assistance to cover the costs of our spring break trip this year as we travel to Nashville, Tenn., to play two games over a four-day period. The funds will be used not only to offset the cost of flights for the players, but to help pay for the house, and to have some funds to explore the town as a team. We greatly appreciate any donation you are able to provide our team to have this memorable experience! We hope that you join us in this fundraising effort!
MEN'S SOCCER
For more than 50 years, Augsburg men's soccer has provided a unique experience both on-and-off the field. We live through our motto, "For You. For Soccer. For Life." in everything we do. We've achieved many milestones through this philosophy with talented, driven, and dedicated players, a humble budget, and generous support from students, alumni, parents, and friends. We need your help to support this important program. Please consider making a gift to help us provide each player with the best, most professional experience we can provide!
WOMEN'S SOCCER
This year for Augsburg women's soccer, we have focused on honoring the historic success of the program while writing our own story. This story is one of Ambition Without Apology. We are unapologetic in our pursuit for excellence on and off the field, and do not shy away from big goals and extremely high standards. For this year's Give to The Max Day, your gifts directly support this story, and we are incredibly thankful. Gifts to the program will help us elevate our student-athlete experience via equipment, a 2024 regional non-conference trip, and incredible seasonal coaches. Some of the resources we hope to continue, with your support, include individualized coaching for our goalkeepers, sports psychology sessions, and investment into high quality photography and videography. Thank you for your contribution to our new story! Here's to Ambition Without Apology.
SOFTBALL
Hello Auggie Softball supporters! The Augsburg softball team is seeking to raise funds for a new fence for the softball field. Our goal is to raise $8,000 to support this necessary and long overdue update to our softball field. Thanks for your support.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING
I am here with you all today to introduce this year's Augsburg strength and conditioning Give to the Max campaign. As a strength and conditioning department, we are here to share with you why this campaign is so important not only to us, but even more to our athletes. As some of you may know, we work year around with all varsity sports here at Augsburg University. We are asking for contributions to our campaign and we hope that you share with friends, because our campaign is unique, and will benefit every sports team here on campus. As strength and conditioning coaches, we recognize that without the athletes, there is no us. We work to serve them, and not only to prepare them for their given sport in many ways, but to build relationships in hope that we can teach and inspire them to become the best of people when their time here is done. We would appreciate it so much if you would help us reach these goals, and contribute to our Give to the Max campaign.
VOLLEYBALL
Support the Women's volleyball team today! This year, our team is raising funds for an international trip. The Auggies have been to Costa Rica and Nicaragua in past years, and are planning a new experience following our next season. While on the trip, the team competes against different national teams, participates in different service-learning experiences unique to the country we are in, and we find new ways to challenge our team bonding and have fun. In order to provide the level of experience that makes these trips worth the cost and so incredibly special, we will spend the next two years fundraising. Every student-athlete that goes on the trip will contribute to their own trip as well, but donations make a HUGE impact in making this trip a possibility for everyone on the team. THANK YOU in advance for your support!
MEN'S WRESTLING
Make a gift to the Men's Wrestling Program today. This year, your donations will help the Augsburg Wrestling Program:
1.) Send the entire team to defend our 2023 NCAA D-III National Tournament.
2.) Fund our assistant coaches which gives each of our wrestlers the individual attention of a personal coach to support them in their academics, social life and on the wrestling mat.
WOMEN'S WRESTLING
This year, the women's wrestling team is hoping to raise $5,000 to support the overall women's wrestling program. We greatly appreciate any donation you are able to provide our team to ensure that our student-athletes have an amazing experience!
