A Record-Breaking Campaign

From Coach Chris Robertson:

After finishing 6-4 this past season, we are trending in a strong direction to make a push to compete against every NEWMAC football institution. It takes a lot of resources to run a successful program the right way. WPI does it the right way for all student-athletes. Your donations help greatly in making these players feel special.

Knowing that we have people like you supporting us drives us to reach the highest levels of success on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.

Thank you for your support!


From Student-Athlete Joey LeClerc '26:

"Football and this family mean the world to me. These brothers have helped me get through a lot during my time at WPI, and they will also be there for me for my entire life long after graduation. The players and coaches push me to be the best version of myself, and I’m so proud to be a member of this team.

Our alumni and our families have been amazing. To see so many people we know and many we don’t know support us every single game means so much. We represent the university, but also all of those who came before us on the fields here at WPI."


From Alumni Athlete Lou Duh '21:

"The men I played with have become the best friends of my life. We stay connected and follow WPI Football each and every week, and even make it back to support Coach Rob and the team. WPI Football will always be a part of who we are, and it also helped make us who we are. Best four years of my life.

I give back to WPI Football to show the team that I am never too far away from them, and it is a token of the pride I have to be an alum of Engineer Football."

​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.
