We invest in the comprehensive student-athlete experience

At Cal Poly, we're committed to providing our student-athletes with an unparalleled experience — one that sets them up for success in the classroom, in competition and beyond. As an NCAA Division I Athletic Department, we embrace the university’s Learn by Doing philosophy, equipping our student-athletes with the resources, training and support they need to thrive.

Your support makes all the difference! By donating to your favorite team (or teams), you directly impact their success. Your generosity helps attract top-tier student-athletes, enhances their development and fuels their pursuit of excellence.

The Challenge:

This Poly Gives, the three teams that raise the highest percentage of their goal will win bragging rights and an extra gift from Athletic Director Don Oberhelman! Each team’s fundraising goal is tailored to the size of its alumni base and the average dollars raised each fiscal year, ensuring a fair and competitive challenge across all programs. 

First place will be awarded $750, second place will be awarded $500 and third place will be awarded $250. Every dollar counts and every gift brings us closer to victory!

On behalf of the Cal Poly Athletics Family, thank you for investing in the future of our student-athletes. Your commitment drives our success. Ride High and Go Mustangs!
