Scranton Athletics Fund Eclipses $200,000 in First Year

Scranton’s Department of Athletics has experienced tremendous success both on and off the field during its storied history. In an effort to continue this success, as well as to offer our nearly 400 student-athletes an unforgettable experience, the Division of University Advancement and Department of Athletics launched the Scranton Athletics Fund last fall.
Since its inception, more than 1,000 alumni, parents and friends have contributed more than $200,000 to support athletics through the Scranton Athletics Fund and our premier event, The Carlesimo Golf Tournament and Award Dinner.
The Scranton Athletics Fund is our first effort focused on raising resources for Scranton athletics and our 18 intercollegiate teams. The goal of this fund is to provide our student-athletes with a truly transformative experience that is reflective of our Jesuit identity and challenge them to become “men and women for and with others.” Gifts can be designated to the area of greatest need within athletics or to any of our intercollegiate teams and support equipment upgrades, travel and team-building opportunities, student-athlete awards and events, recruiting and more.
