About the Challenge ๐Ÿ’š

Make your gift today and support the Women's Empowerment Fund or the Athletics Excellence Fund during the 2025 Barefoot Athletics Challenge!

The Women's Empowerment Fund was established to support our 12 women's varsity programs and the individuals associated with Babson's women's athletics. We are committed to providing the best experience for our female student-athletes both today and into the future. Funds raised through the Women's Empowerment Fund will continue to enhance each women's program, including:

  • Increasing operational budgets, allowing for increased travel for recruiting and out-of-region competitions
  • Sponsoring events for current and former female student-athletes (e.g. networking events, speaker series)
  • Supporting professional development opportunities for female student-athletes pursuing careers in sports

Gifts to the Athletics Excellence Fund provide critical resources that enable the programs of Babson Athletics to be successful. Thanks to generous annual support to the Athletics Excellence Fund, Babson offers 23 varsity programs to more than 350 student-athletes, supports more than a dozen club sports teams, and provides robust intramural and recreational programming opportunities to the entire Babson community.

The Athletics Excellence Fund infuses resources that help to elevate and differentiate the Babson Athletics experience for our student-athletes. Contributions go toward those things that make the Babson experience unique in Division III, including:

  • Out-of-conference team and tournament travel
  • Nutritional resources
  • Additional coaching positions and professional staff training
  • Professional development seminars
  • Leadership training
  • Guest speakers from the business and sports community
  • Counseling and other mental health support for our student-athletes

Follow Babson teams on social media for updates and join us online to support Babson Athletics and share your pride.
