Athletics & Recreation

The 5280 Together COVID Relief Fund raises money to help overcome the unprecedented financial losses facing DU Athletics, our student athletes and dedicated coaches. With your gift, you’ll ensure our student athletes receive the level of support they deserve as they work to get back to competition as soon and as safely as possible.

Build upon DU’s championship tradition with a gift that will impact all 300+ Pioneer student-athletes. Athletics are a significant part of the Denver student experience, and our student-athletes strive for nothing short of excellence. Holding title to 33 NCAA national championships (13th all-time), DU has won 11 Division I-AAA Director’s Cups in 12 years.

Donate to a Denver varsity program that means the most to you. Your gift provides much-needed funding for academic support, team travel, recruiting, leadership development and resources that provide a first-class experience for a team.

Your Benefits

Your gift provides a holistic approach to student-athlete well-being, including: 24-hour nutrition station designed to maximize energy, performance and recovery; strength and conditioning to ensure top performances; and sports medicine to properly care for injuries and address mental health.

Donate to club sports teams, which play an important part in making the DU campus community vibrant and active. Your gift brings together groups of students with similar interests to organize and participate in specific sports or recreational activities.

The Alpine Club serves as DU’s longest-running and largest individual club on campus. The club helps young outdoor enthusiasts — beginners to experts — find their place here at DU. By making a gift you will make the outdoors more accessible to students by offsetting the cost of trips in and around Colorado.
