“Get in the game and make a gift to support our teams on Go Saxons Day,” says Deb Steward, associate vice president for Student Experience, Athletics, and Recreation. “There are exciting challenge dollars on the line that can push your favorite team to win additional money. All gifts go directly to the sport or program of the donor’s choice. Donors can also support all student-athletes by making a gift to the Saxon Nation General Fund, Athletic Communications, Strength & Conditioning, and/or Sports Medicine.”
