Athletics

Giving Day 2024 is an opportunity to show your support for the Bears! You can support Missouri State Athletics and enhance the student-athlete experience by giving to a specific sport or the general athletics fund to support the area(s) of greatest need. During this 36-hour event, you choose the program you're most passionate about and that gift will support their unique funding priorities that include areas such as:  

  • Nutrition & Wellness – assists in providing access to healthy food choices and promotes complete well-being of our student-athletes.
  • Travel – enhances the travel experience from transportation to accommodations and opens up expanded competition opportunities like tournaments across the nation. 
  • Equipment & Gear – helps to improve and evaluate student-athlete performance.
