In under 24 hours, the second annual Cardinal Challenge kicks off! We need you and your support to make day one the best yet. Rally your friends and family, and support your favorite athletics program on campus. 

Running Sept. 29 – Oct. 5, this year’s challenge is set to surpass the inaugural event. 

The friendly rivalry returns as friends of Cardinal Athletics challenge their friends and former teammates to match gifts for their favorite Saint Mary’s sports. For those who love a little competition, the Cardinal Challenge delivers.

Throughout the week of giving, a live leaderboard will display each sport’s donor count, keeping the race front and center as programs rally the most support.

Alumni, parents, friends, and family can designate monetary gifts toward specific sport programs. Every gift, of every size, makes a difference, as 100 percent of the dollars raised go directly to the sport of the donor’s choice.
