Ways you can support our student-athletes
Adopt-a-Ridgeback
Be part of the team that will help ensure the future success of our student-athletes and athletic programs. Consider supporting our Ridgebacks with a gift to the Adopt-a-Ridgeback fund. The annual goal for the fund is $60,000 which would financially support every Ridgeback Athlete for the season. All funds received by September of each year will be applied equally across all Ridgeback student-athletes.
Support Ridgeback Teams
All our Ridgeback teams appreciate additional support directed to their team. These donations can be used to help teams with additional training sessions, or travel and activities releated to the team. Your support allows our talented student-athletes receive the best opportunities to pursue their sport and achieve their athletic and academic dreams. With this support, you are helping our athletics program grow as one of the premier programs in Canadian University athletics.

As a result, most student-athletes suffer the financial strain, not being able to carry a part-time job during the season.
