DURHAM – The fourth-annual Iron Duke's Varsity Club Giving Day was a resounding success from the support of our donors during the 27-hour fundraiser that will benefit our student-athletes, coaches and each of our varsity programs.

This year, with help from 1,942 donors, we raised a grand total of $1,932,774 … a record for Giving Day, surpassing last year's $1.39M.

We have four pod winners for "total dollars raised", and each program will receive $5,000 toward their Varsity Club fund for winning their pod this year. In Pod 1, men's lacrosse surpassed its benchmark of $350,000 and raised $659,028.
