Fund for Athletic Excellence

Fund for Athletic Excellence

 

All varsity teams at Trinity contribute to Tiger Athletics' history of national success and perform at an elite level on the field of competition and in the classroom. In order to maintain an elite experience overall for our scholar athletes, this fund provides assistance to each of our eighteen teams for: 

 

  • Elite Travel Experiences, especially for NCAA Nationals Competition
  • Exclusive and Customized Gear
  • Special Events and Programming for Athletes and Coaches, like an end of the year banquet or guest speakers
  • Special Projects in Sports Information and Digital Media for our athletic teams

 

With your donation to this fund, Trinity Athletics will impact the lives of our scholar athletes by providing them with a highly competitive athletic environment and special programming that supports Trinity's transformative liberal arts education. Your gift will help us maintain our tradition of excellence!

THANK YOU!!!!!!
