UNC Volleyball
At the University of Northern Colorado, volleyball is more than just a sport; it's a tradition of excellence and camaraderie that has spanned 56 years. Our UNC volleyball team has achieved remarkable milestones and garnered 24 post-season appearances, symbolizing the tenacity and skill that sets us apart.
Why should you donate?
As our program continues to work to stay competitive in all areas, we need community and alumni support to succeed on the court and to enhance the overall experience for volleyball student-athletes. We invite you to become an integral part of the program and participate in the legacy left behind by our alumni by supporting our campaign. Your support ensures that aspiring athletes have access to transformative opportunities.
While financial contributions are vital, this campaign is about much more. It's about rekindling old connections, fostering new ones, and building a strong network that will uplift our UNC volleyball program for years to come. Your involvement, at any donation amount, helps strengthen relationships between alumni and the younger generations of Bears, creating a support system that transcends the game itself. In recognition of our 24 post-season appearances, we hope 24 alumni will show their support of the program and opportunities they received by making a donation of any amount.
Alumni Quotes
Kendra Cunningham-Charles, Class of 2016
“As an alum now, its really cool to look back and see the young women that get those same experiences, if not better experiences, all due to the same support that we had from the program, the department, and fans, and the donors. Go bears!”
Taylor Smith-Stuemky, Class of 2010
"I give as an alum so I can still stay connected to the volleyball program at UNC but also just to give back for all the wonderful experiences I was able to receive over the years as a volleyball student-athlete."
How will gifts be used?
Your contributions during this crowdfunding campaign will play a pivotal role in advancing various key aspects of our UNC Bears Volleyball program. Here's a brief breakdown of how we plan to leverage these funds to elevate the program to new heights:
- Locker Room and Volleyball Area Upgrades: With your generous donations, we'll be able to regularly refresh and enhance our locker room and graphics around the volleyball areas.
- Athlete Nutrition: Contributions will help supply the locker room with a variety of snacks and supplements, ensuring that our volleyball players have the fuel they need to give their best on the court.
- Foreign Trips: The NCAA allows teams to take a foreign trip every four years. University funds are not able to be used for foreign trips, making donor support imperative. Your gifts will help make these transformative international trips affordable for our athletes.
- Team Marketing Efforts: By investing in marketing initiatives, we aim to draw larger crowds to the Bank of Colorado Arena during our matches. Your support will help us expand our marketing efforts to promote our games and events, encouraging more fans to join us in cheering for the Bears.
