STANFORD ATHLETICS
Compete for Card
Like our student-athletes, YOU had the opportunity to compete for the Cardinal over the last 36 hours by making a gift and participating in one of our Beat Your Best Challenges.
The Stanford Athletics community came together for one common cause—supporting our nearly 900 student-athletes and providing the best possible experience on the Farm. Together, we Beat Our Best by raising a total of $815,600 from 1,795 donors to surpass our 2024 Stanford Athletics Giving Day totals. (Results will change as gifts continue to be processed.)
Your gift truly makes a difference by providing the best student-athlete experience possible. Thank you for competing for the Cardinal on Stanford Day of Giving!
