With the arrival of new head coach Corey Grant, the football program at Carleton is in a moment of reset and revitalization. We have a strong long-term vision that centres on competitiveness that drives interest, attendance and a sense of community, and a culture of success—both on and off the field.
Central to that vision is building stability and sustainability for the future.
Equally important, though, are our shared efforts to enhance current priorities and meet the demands of the season.
Strength and conditioning, nutrition, equipment, recruitment, travel and sports medicine—these are just some of the recurring expenses that arise over the course of the year, from the off-season to training camp and throughout the academic term. And as inflation intensifies and the cost of everything from food, to equipment, to professional services increases, it’s more important than ever to ensure day-to-day team and individual needs are being met.
To support annual program activities and empower the people who build our field of success, we’re looking for boosters—alumni and supporters who can take an active role in the football community by contributing to immediate needs. With an annual contribution of $500, you can give the team an extra boost and ultimately help lay the foundation for a competitive program.
And, thanks to the incredible generosity of one or our community members, there are opportunities to extend the value of your donation through matching funding. With a gift today, you can double your impact.
You can contribute to creating a field of success today through a variety of mechanisms.
Boosters who donate $500 per year toward program activities and current priorities will receive a one-to-one match, and will be recognized with a nameplate on lockers in the Ravens dressing room. Your name, or the name of someone you wish to honour, will be displayed on a customized nameplate for the duration of your support. It will be seen daily by players and will not only inspire hard work and determination, but will serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of giving back to your community—a value that we hope our athletes will carry with them long after they leave Carleton.
You can also make a monthly gift (through pre-authorized debit or credit), which will consistently support team-enhancing activities throughout the season.
On Giving Tuesday (November 28, 2023), you can join countless other donors in supporting a cause that's important to you. With additional matching funds available, your investment in student-athletes on Giving Tuesday will go even further, while also building momentum, excitement and a sense of community.
