Athletics

Support your team

Duquesne Athletics alumni, parents and friends, your generosity has made a significant impact over the years on the Department of Athletics and our 430 student-athletes. 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.

There are a number of ways you can support Duquesne University Athletics:

Team Needs:

  • You can support a team of your choosing where your gift will be used to benefit the greatest need of that team

Department Needs:

  • You can support Duquesne University Athletics where your gift will be used to benefit the greatest need of the department

Sports Performance & Medicine Department Needs:

  • Sports Performance & Medicine Department ensures that all of our student-athletes are holistically developed through strength training, nutritional education, injury prevention and recovery and mental health and wellness awareness.

A little bit goes a long way and we are thankful for your past support and appreciate your continued generosity.

Don't forget to also spread the word!

An additional way to make a major impact on the Duquesne Day of Giving is to help us spread the word via social media, e-mail, text, word of mouth! Share this address www.duq.edu/dayofgiving with #DUQDayOfGiving and encourage your family and friends to make a donation.
