Let’s celebrate Bates athletics and show support for our favorite teams by making a gift to the FBA Giving Challenge on May 7! Your best gift provides our student-athletes with the ability to excel in the classroom and on the field.
This year, we are aiming for 1,500 gifts in support of our varsity and club teams.
There are so many amazing moments to celebrate -- record setting moments in the pool, thrilling last-second touchdown passes, and cutting down celebratory nets. Show your support for Bates athletics with a gift today!
🎉We’ve reached our goal of 1,500, but we haven’t crossed the finish line yet! With 12 hours left on the clock we are setting our sights higher with an updated goal of 1,855 donors and aiming for a record-breaking $710,000 in FBA support.
Bobcats are always good sports, but now it’s time to run up the score. So, get off the bench and Rise to the Challenge!
Congratulations to Track & Field, Field Hockey, Men’s Lacrosse, Baseball, Softball, Women’s Soccer, Men’s Rugby, and Tennis, all of whom have fulfilled challenges since our last update. Go ‘Cats!
