Another record smashed!

Once again Goat Nation, you rose to the challenge! The stretch goal of $250,000 has been met!

With hours to go, we're setting our sights on the highest goal GNGC has ever had- $300,000! 

Your gift can help your team continue to provide the best experience for today’s student-athletes, allowing them to become not only better athletes and students, but people.

Thank you!

A new PR!

Goat Nation YOU did it! Thanks to your generosity, we reached our initial goal of $200,000 raised in support of varsity athletics! 

With one day left, we've set our sights even higher- a $250,000 goal! Each gift supports the athletic department and WPI's student-athletes so they can achieve their goals on and off the field.

Thank you for supporting WPI's student-athletes.
