Next Level Legacy

Since the advent of the Club Sport Challenge in 2020, the support and generosity of Dartmouth Club Sports from alumni, parents, grandparents and friends, has been transformative. With their generosity, in the first six years of the Club Sports Challenge, more than 1.4 million dollars has been raised to directly support our club sports programs. This outpouring of philanthropy has raised the Dartmouth club sports student-athlete experience to the next level. This incredible show of generosity, coupled with increased support directed by Haldeman Family Director of Athletics and Recreation Mike Harrity, specifically to health, safety, travel enhancements and engagement in elite national level competitions, has transformed how our students experience club sports.

Now is the time to up our game even more! While the outpouring of generosity in previous years has created financial stability for our club sport teams, we are now at point where our programs can build a legacy of excellence in experience and competition. For the 2026 Club Sports Challenge, please join us striving for that Next Level Legacy, which will secure the excellence of our club sport programs for many years to come. We hope you will join us as we reach to be able to build a legacy that will sustain a long-term impact on Dartmouth Club Sports.
