Oregon State is fortunate to have several elite women's athletic programs including our reigning three time Pac-12 champion basketball team, our national finalist gymnastics squad, a softball team that recently upset top ten UCLA, and countless others across 10 women’s athletic programs. Let’s face it though, women’s sports often don’t get as much recognition and respect that they deserve, and are often overlooked in favor of their male counterparts. It was announced Monday that Our Beaver Nation, Oregon State’s athletic fundraising program, is taking another step in trying to change that with the Women Leading OSU fundraising arm.
The newest fundraising arm of Our Beaver Nation is aimed at raising money solely for the 10 women’s athletic programs across campus, as well as initiatives to help women student-athletes reach their goals outside of sports.
