A Record-Breaking Campaign

From Coach Kim Cosenza:

This year is crucial as we prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe, where our athletes will experience the culture, compete against top clubs, and grow both on and off the field. To make this trip a reality, we need funding for travel, accommodations, and training resources. Your support will help us cover these costs and continue providing top-tier coaching, equipment, and team-building opportunities.

A gift during the Goat Nation Giving Challenge campaign will directly impact our ability to offer this unique experience and continue our growth as a team. If there was ever a year to give, this is it!


From Student-Athlete Nina Van Elkenburg ’26:

“Every day my team provides me with unconditional love and support in every aspect of my life. They give me the confidence and comfort to strive to be the best I can possibly be each and every day. The support of our community means so much to me and my team. It shows that people are willing to invest in the growth of this program and help us push the limits of what we can do.


From Alumni Athlete Kelly Mackechnie '22:

"When I think back to my time at WPI, the first thing that I remember is the time I spent with my team. The girls on the field hockey team were not only my teammates, but they were my roommates, friends, and family away from home. It is so important that our team continues to be supported by alumni, parents, friends, and the WPI community as a whole. And as a past student-athlete myself, I can say that your support to help keep our program running strong does not go unnoticed!"

​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!

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.
