Lehigh Athletics Day of Support Set for Thursday, May 28
5/18/2020 10:46:00 AM | Athletics, Support
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh Athletics Partnership has announced that it will host a Lehigh Athletics Day of Support on Thursday, May 28. The Day of Support provides an opportunity for Lehigh Alumni, families and friends to demonstrate their passion and support for Lehigh Athletics or their favorite Lehigh sport, while helping offset budget shortfalls caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the NCAA cutting national distributions to member institutions and canceled revenue-generating events and entrepreneurial activities, there is a greater financial burden on the Lehigh Athletics Department to raise operating dollars for our sports.

The Lehigh Athletics Partnership strives to embrace and engage our loyal and supportive alumni, family, and fans within the Lehigh community to further promote the passion and camaraderie that makes Lehigh so special.
The Day of Support will be held in place of the annual March Mania Giving Challenge, which was postponed at the onset of these unprecedented times. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the collegiate experience of many student-athletes, and may continue to have an adverse impact on future semesters. Support from the community will allow teams to maintain staff, travel for competition and recruitment, purchase essential equipment, and fund key student-athlete experiences; while minimizing the unique financial impact Lehigh programs will face.
Unlike March Mania, Lehigh Athletics Day of Support will not be competition-based out of respect for those disaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Gifts made during the Day of Support may go to a sport program of your choice, multiple sport programs, and/or the General Unrestricted Athletics Partnership Fund. Any monies donated to the General Unrestricted Athletics Partnership Fund will be distributed to the highest priorities of the department. All donations will count toward the GO! Campaign for Lehigh.
The Lehigh Athletics Day of Support will run from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, May 28. Gifts can be made on May 28th online by clicking on the sport(s) program(s) of your choice or the General Unrestricted Athletic Partnership Fund. Using our secure online giving form, you are able to make a one-time gift, recurring gift, or pledge/pledge payment using a VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit card. Giving online saves time and decreases processing costs for Lehigh Athletics.
Donations may also be mailed. Please make checks payable to "Lehigh University" and indicate the sport program(s) or General Unrestricted Athletics Partnership Fund, and "Lehigh Athletics Day of Support" on the memo line of the check.
All checks may be mailed to:
Office of Development and Alumni Relations
306 South New Street
Suite 500
Bethlehem, PA 18015
The Lehigh Athletics Day of Support will be a one day event, but there will still be opportunities to support Lehigh Athletics before and after May 28.
