Softball Championship Fund

We would first like to say thank you for the support and dedication that you have shown our program. Your support through the Chippewa Club and now through the Championship Fund are vital to the success of our program.

We have identified a list of needs above and beyond our traditional operating expenditures that will assist us as we strive to be a championship level program in the Mid-American Conference and nationally.   

With the combined dedication of our student-athletes, coaching staff, past letter winners and donors there is no doubt in my mind that we will continue to compete at a championship level. I hope that I can count on you to continue to elevate our program.

Current Championship Fund Initiatives

Technology Upgrades

Whether it is evaluating an upcoming opponent or a future Chippewa, there is no question that having the latest technology allows us to develop an advantage over our competition. When we are searching for talent or scouting an opponent, we do not want to allow ourselves to be constrained by technology limitations.

In addition to the obvious functional upgrade, new technology brings with it an aesthetic upgrade as well. When our recruits visit our facilities and see that we have the latest and greatest, it helps to inspire the "awe factor" within them. The best players want to be a part of a program that invests in its success and having the newest technology is a tangible way to do this.

Cost: $10,000


Furniture and locker room amenities

A locker room is more than just a space for our players to hang their uniforms. It is a place to socialize with teammates. It is a place to study for class as well as upcoming opponents. It is a place to unwind after a hard day on the field or in class. A softball locker room is a sanctuary for our team and you have a chance to contribute to this critical project through our championship fund.

While this is a large-scale project, you can play an integral role in helping it come to fruition by funding some of its critical elements. New furniture and graphics that celebrate the past and present greatness of our project are things that make our current players appreciate the program and future players want to be a part of it. We are in the process of getting a locker room for the first time in our program's history and we need your help!

Cost: $20,000
