Join us to support our Aggie student-athletes during Give Day 2026

UC Davis Athletics is rooted in the commitment to the pursuit of excellence. Our student-athletes dedicate themselves to excellence every day—balancing rigorous academics with the demands of competition, leadership, and service to their community. They represent UC Davis with integrity and purpose, and they do so with the support of a university that believes deeply in their potential.

Give Day is an opportunity to strengthen that belief and turn shared pride into collective action. For over 36 hours, alumni, parents, and friends of UC Davis Athletics come together to invest in the people and programs that shape the Aggie experience. Your support helps ensure our student-athletes have the resources they need to succeed in their sport, pursue their academic goals, and prepare for life beyond UC Davis.

This is about access and opportunity. Gifts support essential areas such as training, nutrition, mental health services, academic resources, and overall student-athlete development. Just as important, Give Day is about participation. Whether large or small, every contribution builds momentum, strengthens our teams, and sends a powerful message to our student-athletes that their community believes in them.

To add to the excitement, teams have been grouped together in a friendly Give Day competition, with each group striving to earn the highest number of donors. This challenge is about participation and community—every single donor counts toward your team’s total, regardless of donation size. By making a gift, you’re not only supporting your program, you’re helping your team rise within its group.

The future of Aggie Athletics is built through shared investment and consistent support. When we show up together, we create lasting impact. On Give Day, your gift helps move our teams forward—and helps our teams compete, together.
