A Record-Breaking Campaign

From Coach Brendan Casey:

One of our biggest challenges when it comes to funding is our annual spring trip down south to kick off our season. The cost of airfare and hotels has gone up each year. With your support and generosity this Goat Nation Giving Challenge, we can alleviate some of the costs for our student-athletes to participate in this trip. It means so much to our team and program to receive support from alumni, parents, and friends like you.

Your continued generosity allows us to give our current student-athletes an even better collegiate athletic experience and gives us the chance to provide the best equipment and technology to aid in their athletic development.

Thank you for your continued support and GO WPI!


From Alumni Athlete DJ Brooks '24:

"The baseball team played a pivotal role in shaping my WPI experience. The team provided a great support system, both on the field and in the classroom, and a strong network to help career and professional growth. Over four years, my teammates became my best friends, to the point I’d consider several of them my brothers. The camaraderie and support of the baseball team has pushed me to grow as an individual and has provided me with memories that I will cherish forever."

​You shattered the record!

Goat Nation, we’re speechless. Year after year, the Goat Nation Giving Challenge gets stronger and stronger, and this year, you’ve outdone yourselves.

Thanks to you, this has been our most successful campaign ever—by a long shot.

You are fueling WPI Athletics to maintain and enhance the student-athlete experience, providing equipment, technology, and support. You are fostering life-long friendships and mentorships, building student-athlete resilience, confidence, and leadership, and honoring tradition.

It simply means the world.

Stay tuned for our final results next week. Until then, know that we couldn’t be more grateful.

Thank you, Goat Nation!

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.
