Champions for Chargers Program
Champions for Chargers is an annual-giving program designed to support the Dominican University athletics program and all of our student-athletes.
As the University is in the midst of its Comprehensive Campaign – “Advancing Excellence”, a key focal area of the effort will be the expansion of the Hennessy Center, as well as the purchase of property where our soccer and softball teams compete. Your support through Champions for Chargers will go directly to help these Campaign initiatives, and provide a better environment for our scholar athletes, and the entire DU community!
Your annual contribution entitles you to a Champions for Chargers lapel pin and window cling, as well as branded apparel, participation in games and events, donor listings and much more. When you support athletics, you help to ensure that our students, coaches and staff have the greatest opportunities for continued success both on and off the fields of play.
We invite you to join our team.
To join our team, go online to dc.edu/champions.aspx or contact David Berkner, Director of Major Gifts, at 845.848.7426 or david.berkner@dc.edu.
