Alfred University Athletics kicks off Go Saxons Day, its first Saxon Nation Day of Giving, to support student-athletes on Tuesday, March 19, beginning at 11 a.m. This 24-hour giving event concludes at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 20.

“Get in the game and make a gift to support our teams on Go Saxons Day,” says Deb Steward, associate vice president for Student Experience, Athletics, and Recreation. “There are exciting challenge dollars on the line that can push your favorite team to win additional money.  All gifts go directly to the sport or program of the donor’s choice. Donors can also support all student-athletes by making a gift to the Saxon Nation General Fund, Athletic Communications, Strength & Conditioning, and/or Sports Medicine.”

Thanks to the generosity of donors and the Saxon Nation Board of Directors, your gift can help your team win a share of the $12,000 challenge pool. Be our MVP on Go Saxons Day and score for your teams and programs. Here’s how!
