TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics and UCATS announced the Next Level Fund in conjunction with #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of unity in response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.
The Next Level Fund was created to help redefine the levels of competitive excellence for UC student-athletes. The goal takes on a new meaning right now — and the creation of the Next Level Fund is expanding our fundraising focus to support the more immediate needs of our Bearcats.
"The Next Level Fund will provide critical resources to our nearly 500 student-athletes as we work through unprecedented times in college athletics and worldwide," Director of Athletics John Cunningham said. "This pandemic is so much bigger than sports, but sports and the natural community it creates can be a pathway to create action and come together. Our steadfast focus remains on maintaining the mental and physical health of our young people. Our student-athletes have had their lives disrupted as much as anyone else over the past months. They continue to be our priority and deserve our full support the Next Level Fund can provide as we work to move the department forward."
A gift to the Next Level Fund on #GivingTuesdayNow provides critical resources for student-athlete welfare, including physical and mental health, nutrition resources and emergency medical insurance costs.
At this time, there is an opportunity to double the impact you can make on the life of a UC student-athlete. For every dollar generously given to the Next Level Fund, a matching effort will be contributed by an anonymous donor up to $10,000.
This additional gift of $10,000 honors Jean Stephens, a loyal and dedicated former Executive Assistant to Director of Athletics Bob Goin. Jean epitomized integrity, high ethical standards and respect for all individuals. She made a considerable impact on the lives of UC student-athletes in many ways during her tenure.
We hope that you will consider investing in our student-athletes. To donate today and support our student-athletes on #GivingTuesdayNow, please click HERE.
