The time is quickly approaching to show your support for Grinnell College Athletics as it is integral to fostering well-rounded students who excel both in the classroom and in competition.
 
The College's annual Scarlet & Give Back Day is this Wednesday and Thursday. A gift to any program helps provide state-of-the-art facilities, enhances training resources, and ensures our athletes have access to opportunities that allow them to compete at the highest level.
 
For the last 10 years the Grinnell College community has come together on Scarlet & Give Back Day to raise a total of $9.4 million. These funds provide crucial support for our students as they explore their passions, unlock their potential, and go forth to make a lasting impact on the world.

You're invited to join us this Scarlet & Give Back Day as we celebrate 10 years of creating opportunities for students to excel —academically, extracurricularly, and in their personal and professional lives. The size of your gift doesn't matter — what's important is that you GIVE! Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference and can have an even greater impact thanks to exciting challenges and matches that amplify support for our students.

To make an even greater impact, set up a monthly recurring gift during S&GBD to unlock a $250,000 gift to Grinnell Athletics from Austin '90 and Kelly Simmons once 25 donors establish a monthly recurring gift to their favorite athletic team or program.

Together, we will help ensure that the Grinnell experience — from innovative teaching and personal mentorship to research opportunities and career exploration — remains a reality for current and future students.
