Thank you for considering supporting the 2016-17 Mines Athletics A-Thon!
Mines is proud to field one of the nation’s premier NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletic programs. Oredigger student-athletes relentlessly pursue conference and national championships while maintaining exceptionally high academic standards. Mines’ student-athletes live the athletic program’s mission: “Excellence in Everything.” To maintain our high standards of excellence, however, we need your help.
To offset many of our operating expenses including travel, equipment, day-to day-operations, and to support continued program growth, we are grateful if you would consider supporting the program financially by making a tax-deductible gift. All gifts can be designated to the sport and the Mines Athletics A-Thon of your choice.
