About

Winner of award: Most Dollars Raised - Extra-Large Group

Thank you so much for supporting SUNY Cortland Football in the Athletics Challenge! Your contribution will impact student-athletes in our program for years to come by providing new equipment and gear and assisting with travel fees for future seasons.

As we look to continue growing and improving the program, I have a few ideas about which I’m truly passionate. I’d like to outfit the entire offensive line with knee braces for injury prevention, helping our athletes stay healthy and perform at their best. I also intend to secure better sideline teaching technology, which will provide real-time feedback and create valuable learning opportunities for our players during games and practices. Your support in these areas will make a huge difference in our success.

With your gift today, you are a part of our future victories. Go Red Dragons!
