Enhancing the Student-Athlete Experience
Our collective generosity during this 48-hr giving day (noon, February 7 - noon, February 9) will help us ensure a multi-faceted, unique and meaningful experience for our Highlanders.
We need you - our alumni, donors, friends, parents and colleagues - to help us inspire greatness in our student-athletes by: empowering them to achieve in the classroom, boosting their ability to compete at the highest athletic levels, guiding them as they develop socially and mentally, and enhancing their overall athletic experience.
*********
The project that garners the most donors by the end of the RAD48 challenge will be awarded $1,000 generously offered by the Radford University Foundation!
