It's time to Raise Our Game again! Throughout the month of October, the Franklin & Marshall athletic department will once again be hosting the month-long Raise Our Game challenge. The department has set a goal to raise $400,000 from at least 2,000 donors. The campaign will run through Tuesday, October 31.

Gifts through Raise Our Game can made in direct support towards one of Franklin & Marshall's 28 varsity teams or you can make a generic contribution to the Diplomat Athletic Club's (DAC) Excellence Fund which will benefit the entire athletic department. Each team has specific goals that they are trying to meet to enhance the overall student-athlete experience of their programs.

"Raise Our Game helps to ensure that we can provide a championship level experience to our more than 600 scholar-athletes who proudly wear the Blue and White. Gifts to Raise Our Game help us provide high-level competition, along with first-class training and facilities," explained Director of Athletics & Recreation Lauren Packer Webster.

Several matching challenges are already available on the Raise Our Game website through the generosity our friends, family, and alumni which can double the gift impact that you are making to the athletic department. Stay tuned for even more matching challenges that will be announced throughout the month of October that will continue to give increased return on your investments in our student-athletes.

Last year, the Raise Our Game campaign was another huge success with $407,591 from 2,155 supportive donors.
