Fourth-Annual Giving Day a Record-Setting Success
12/6/2021 2:15:00 PM | Athletics
DURHAM – The fourth-annual Iron Duke's Varsity Club Giving Day was a record-setting success from the support of our donors during the 27-hour fundraiser that will benefit our student-athletes, coaches and each of our varsity programs.
This year, with help from 1,942 donors, we raised a grand total of $1,932,774 … a record for Giving Day, surpassing last year's $1.39M.
We have four pod winners for "total dollars raised", and each program will receive $5,000 toward their Varsity Club fund for winning their pod this year. In Pod 1, men's lacrosse surpassed its benchmark of $350,000 and raised $659,028. In Pod 2, swimming & diving raised $267,846, while men's tennis won its pod with $66,800. Lastly, men's soccer raised $41,325 to secure the win in Pod 4.
Additionally, we awarded a team in each of the four pods with $5,000 for the "most donors" to their respective programs. In Pod 1, men's lacrosse secured 383 donors while rowing captured 187 in Pod 2. Cheerleading accumulated 108 in its Pod while men's soccer added 70 in the fourth Pod.
This year, we had three first-time winning programs in men's soccer, men's tennis and cheerleading.
Your incredible generosity positively impacts each Duke student-athlete's experience by helping to provide academic support, nutritional services, world-class facilities, top-notch coaching, mental health services and so much more.

On behalf of our student-athletes, our coaches, our staff and Duke Athletics … THANK YOU!
