THANK YOU!

Our donors have surpassed not only the original goal of $3,000, but the second goal of $6,000 as well. What a tremendous show of love from all of you. Our great friends, Marshall Richards and John and Sharon Orr were so impressed by the donations that they have generously given $1,000 each toward the Puerto Rico trip. We have moved the goal (again!) to $9,000 for the remainder of this fundraiser. Feathers Up!

Message from Head Coach Justin Maass:

The Upper Iowa women's basketball program has been built on a philosophy of consistent investment in our student-athletes. Our program does this first by having our coaching staff pour into our student-athletes to help them grow. This philosophy also shows up in upgrades to our facilities, gear, and equipment. We have consistently invested in our student-athletes. But since my first day on campus, one of my main goals has been to take a destination trip.

It is time for that trip!

I am very excited to announce that our team will be traveling to Puerto Rico next November 20-24! This has been a 4-year process, and our team is incredibly excited. Our team has put in a lot of work to make this dream a reality.

On this trip, we will play two games against two local universities. After taking care of business on the court, our team will enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience to explore Puerto Rico with their teammates.

Our program is fundraising to allow us to maximize our trip. With the generous gifts of our donors, we will be able to add more excursions and experiences. Experiences like...

- Yoga on the Beach

- Bioluminescent Bay Kayaking

- World’s Longest Zip Line

- Catamaran Sailing

- Snorkeling

- Paddle Boarding and more!

I am asking all alumni, community members, and donors to help us provide our student-athletes with an amazing college experience. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a big difference.

Thank you for your support!
