2022 Rams Rise Up Challenge

Thank you to our generous donors for rising to the challenge and supporting our 17 Division II sports teams during our fourth annual Rams Rise Up Challenge! We surpassed our goal and raised $109,001. All we can say is WOW!


Alumni, students, parents, employees, and fans alike came together for one goal: to support our Jefferson Rams. Donations are being put to work immediately—fulfilling equipment needs and giving players the resources to train, perform, and compete at their best.


A special thank you to the teams, student-athletes, and Rams Rise Up Ambassadors who participated in events throughout the day, spread the word, and encouraged people to give! Our Ramily helped make this Rams Rise Up Challenge one for the books!


If you missed Rams Rise Up and would still like to support Jefferson Athletics, make a gift today! Go Rams!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
