Delaware Athletics, Community & Campus Recreation is excited to participate in the eighth annual I Heart UD Giving Day, taking place on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. Blue Hens fans are encouraged to support one or more of the 50 unique fundraising causes that are closest to their heart on the Athletics and Club Sports landing page - these include the Blue & Gold fund, all of our varsity sport and spirit programs, and over 20 different club sports program initiatives.

Throughout the day, donors can maximize their impact by participating in challenges that can earn bonus dollars to the program. These challenges can all be found on the I Heart UD Day giving platform.

Gifts to any of the Delaware Athletics & Club Sports causes support key resources that allow our Blue Hens to be successful in the classroom, in competition and in preparation for life after UD. Your gift fuels program necessities such as travel, equipment, apparel and lodging and ensures the creation of an incredible student-athlete experience by enhancing key resources like sports performance, performance nutrition, and academic and career readiness programming, all of which help our Blue Hens excel in all aspects of their life. Make a gift to the Delaware Athletics & Club Sports cause(s) closest to your heart here. Pages are now live and accepting early gifts.

This year, there are several exciting new ways donors can show their love for the University of Delaware:

Students, faculty and staff who donate $5 or more to one of the Athletics or Club Sports causes can register to take part in the High Dive Challenge - taking a plunge off the 3 meter springboard that our divers practice on! Interested students, faculty and staff can sign up here and show up to the Carpenter Sports Building with a bathing suit, towel and daring spirit bold on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 11am-12:45pm.
Donors can pledge to support one of the I Heart UD Giving Day challenges. Donors simply sign up to pledge a certain amount of money for sport-specific challenges that student-athletes will complete. Videos of the completed challenges will be posted on social media on I Heart UD Giving day.
Blue Hen fans, alumni and students are encouraged to become a "champion" - creating their own personal fundraising page to share with family and friends for the potential to win UD swag. Additional promotional items are available to current UD students who bring in the most donors or dollars to an Athletics or Club Sports cause.
Those who are on campus on Wednesday, April 30 are encouraged to stop by the athletics table on the green between 11am and 2pm to share why they "heart" UD!

Our Blue Hen family shares one Fightin' Spirit. Show that you heart UD by supporting our varsity and club student-athletes, as they continue to Fight for the Blue & Gold!
