Gear Up for Day of Champions: 24 Hours to Support Lewis & Clark Athletics!

Mark your calendars! Lewis & Clark is hosting our annual Day of Champions on Wednesday, October 29. This 24-hour fundraising event is our most important opportunity to celebrate the tradition and excellence of L&C athletics and provide crucial support for our outstanding student-athletes.
Day of Champions is an exciting day dedicated to raising essential funds that enhance the student-athlete experience across all our varsity teams. Your generosity goes straight to the heart of our programs, ensuring our students have what they need to succeed both on and off the field.
Funds raised through Day of Champions directly support the team of your choice, covering costs for travel, equipment, and facility enhancements.
We believe the best qualities of L&C student athletes—teamwork, discipline, perseverance, and leadership—are the foundation for their success on campus today, and in their future careers. Your gift helps us continue building champions in the classroom, in competition, and in the community.
Join the Action on October 29!
Day of Champions kicks off at midnight on October 29 and runs for a full 24 hours. There are many ways you can get involved:
- Make a Gift: Support the Athletics Department as a whole or target your donation to the team of your choice at go.lclark.edu/champions. You can even make your gift ahead of time!
