When our teams gain recognition on the regional and national level, the entire campus benefits from the exposure. I also recognize that donations are a valuable supplement to our team's budgets, allowing coaches to recruit nationally and teams to travel to face the best competition. Our hard-working student-athletes are among the best ambassadors for Holy Cross throughout the country and they deserve our support." " I was fortunate enough to receive a full athletic scholarship to Holy Cross. I am so grateful for that scholarship because my parents would not have been able to afford to send me to Holy Cross. After 15 years of teaching Spanish in Long Island, I am able to give back financially. Therefore, I always try to give to the women's soccer program and financial aid. I would like to think that I will someday play a part in helping someone who may be in a similar situation, to have the opportunity to attend Holy Cross." " As parents, we greatly value the lessons our children learn from competing in athletics. Discipline, team work, winning and losing with grace, are all skills that will help them in their personal and professional lives. We are happy to support the Crusader Athletics Fund because it enhances the athletic experiences students learn from, and helps to provide the tools student-athletes need in order to be competitive in today's Division I environment." " I went to Holy Cross to get a great education and play great basketball. Being a student-athlete at Holy Cross allowed me to grow as a person, prepare myself to not only play professional basketball, but for the next steps in my professional life, and afforded me the opportunity to be a part of an amazing family. I know many alumni before me stepped up to provide a tremendous experience for me and I want to promote that same environment for our current and future student-athletes."
