NEW HAVEN, Conn. - In celebration of Albertus Magnus College's Centennial Year, we invite all members of the campus community, past and present, to participate in All in for Albertus on Tuesday, March 24. This one-day fundraising drive brings together alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff and friends to help support our students through the raising of critical funds.
New to this year's All In campaign are the Athletics Team Challenges. This initiative invites student-athletes and coaches to compete for the highest levels of participation and total funds raised. Gifts made to Athletics will support all 18 teams, providing the essential resources needed to maintain a high-quality student-athlete experience.
"We are excited to team up with our partners to support All in for Albertus on March 24," said Director of Athletics Michael Kobylanski. "Intercollegiate athletics has played a pivotal role at Albertus for more than 35 years. Our student-athletes are leaders on campus who are thriving academically while also achieving great athletic success."
All donations earmarked for the Athletic Department will benefit our more than 300 student-athletes.* Specifically, we have identified areas of greatest impact, such as facility and technology enhancements, equipment upgrades, team travel and recruiting and retention to ensure that every program will feel the impact of each and every gift.
Every gift will go further this year thanks to the generosity of Patty Epperly '78 and James Rusche in honor of Dr. John and Mary Rusche. They have provided up to $100,000 in challenge funds, which will be unlocked starting March 1 as All In Giving Day milestones are reached.
Athletic Director Michael Kobylanski has also committed a gift to the team that claims the Falcons Flock Challenge, which will be determined by highest student-athlete participation in the campaign.
Additional challenge gifts related to athletics giving will be announced leading up to the day of the event.
