Reaching our fundraising goal of $100,000 is pivotal for our program's mission to enhance accessibility and affordability for all players. This financial milestone will significantly contribute to alleviating the increasing seasonal costs associated with team participation, ensuring that more individuals can engage in ultimate at UW without the burden of prohibitive expenses. For the time being, the Hodags withdraw $1500 yearly from the account to help offset these escalating seasonal costs. Our overarching objective is to continue building this endowment over the years, aiming to provide a more affordable season for our athletes and foster a more inclusive and sustainable future for our program.
