EVANSVILLE - This week, the University of Evansville will hold its annual giving campaign, Pep & Vim, on Friday, April 8th with celebration and giving building through the week leading up the big day.

As part of Pep & Vim, UE athletics will be conducting its #SupportYourSport competition amongst the Aces 17 athletic programs. The challenge is in its second year with men's and women's swimming and diving capturing the #SupportYourSport title in 2021 and earning the $5,000 prize. This year, the rules are the same: the program that receives the most total donors ($10 minimum gift) will take home the grand prize of $5,000 directly to their program! This $5,000 grand prize was generously donated by some of our Aces athletics supporters.

Gifts can be made by anyone, not just alumni or former student-athletes, so help get your favorite program closer to winning the prize! While every program has different needs, most donations will go toward equipment, recruiting, travel, and other operational needs and/or special projects.

To make your gift, visit uealumnionline.com/supportyoursport and select the sport of your choosing to make a gift. Any gift received between now and Pep & Vim (Friday, April 8) counts towards your team's total. After you give, be sure to spread the word on social media by tagging @UEAthletics on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and using #SupportYourSport to get your family, friends, and alumni involved!

Your support is greatly appreciated and helps provide experiences for our more than 250 student-athletes that will last a lifetime.
