"For the third straight year, we've been amazed at the incredible support for the SUNY Canton Athletics Giving Week," Director of Athletics Randy B. Sieminski said. "I'm particularly proud of the amazing generosity and support from our own student-athletes and their families supporting themselves and each other in order to maximize their college experiences. So many fantastic alumni, friends, supporters, community members and local businesses once again came together to support our teams and our student-athletes. We can't thank them enough."
The men's soccer team (208) edged the women's hockey program (187) for first place in total donors. Men's hockey (166) and women's basketball (159) were right on their heels. The top four for total dollars raised include men's hockey ($35,315), women's hockey ($16,252), men's soccer ($15,373) and the athletics general fund ($10,905).
