A Record-Breaking Campaign

From Coach Mickey Cahoon:

Our goals for the 2025 season include taking an overnight team trip to New Jersey to compete against Stevens Tech. Playing highly successful out-of-region programs contributes to our improvement and goals of building a nationally competitive team. The opportunity to provide memorable competitive experiences for our student-athletes is accomplished through your support and generosity.

Support from our parents, friends, and alumni mean everything to our student-athletes. Thank you for everything you do to support our student-athletes and volleyball program.


From Student Athlete Victoria Escuer '26:

"Knowing that family and alumni are supporting me throughout the season means the world to me. Their encouragement serves as a constant source of motivation and reminds me that I am playing for something greater than myself. Their support pushes me to play at my best and make every game more meaningful. I hope to show that same level of support and make a positive impact on the program as I graduate."

​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.
