KENOSHA, Wis. -- Parkside Athletics is celebrating a successful fall of fundraising that includes the Ranger Impact Fund Giving Campaign, Wrestling's Bags By the Beach Tournament, the first-ever Baseball 9-Hole Golf Outing, and multiple sport program alumni days. In total, Parkside Athletics raised a total of $120,700 to support Parkside's 16 sports programs as well as overall department initiatives.

The 2023 Ranger Impact Fund Giving Drive raised fall giving campaign record of $66,682 from 285 donors in support of Parkside student-athletes, specific sport program needs, and sports medicine initiatives. It was a 5.2 percent year-over-year increase. The women's basketball program raised a department-high $18,025, while the baseball program received contributions from 123 donors.

"This fall's giving results were a true success thanks to the passion and support of alumni, fans, supporters, and friends", said Adam Schemm '08, Director of Athletics, "The work put in by coaches, student-athletes and staff throughout this fall was tremendous.  These results show a strong commitment to enhancing our sport programs and department initiatives to continue to provide championships resources and experiences for our coaches, staff, and student-athletes. A big thank you to Ranger Nation!"

The Ranger Impact Fund is the primary fundraising arm supporting Parkside Athletics, with a mission of profoundly impacting our 16 programs and over 300 student-athletes through generous giving and investments. It is because of the support of many through the Ranger Impact Fund that Parkside student-athletes continue to succeed in both academic and athletic achievement at Wisconsin's Only Division II University.
