Each year, your support of the Duquesne Day of Giving has helped pave the way for Duquesne Athletics to grow and develop into a stronger brand locally, regionally and nationally while also providing the ultimate Division 1 student-athlete experience to build championship contenders within the Atlantic 10 and Northeast Conferences.

You can make a difference!

Any size donation can make an immediate impact on our student-athletes and we cannot thank you enough for your continued generosity and passion you display on this special day. A little bit goes a long way and your generosity provides these student-athletes the tools they need to pursue success in the classroom, in competition and within the Duquesne community.
