Your support is significant, meaningful, and has an immediate impact on Lady Raven basketball. All donations directly will benefit the student athletes in the women’s basketball program at Benedicitne College. Your support helps to supplement our annual operating budget on a yearly basis. Each year, our operating budget is not close to covering all the direct expenses it
takes to run a quality NAIA collegiate women’s basketball program. Each year we are trying to fundraise over $30,000 to help meet the costs. Your support goes a long way in helping us meet our fundraising goals. Thank you so much for your generosity and helping our women’s basketball program to continue to be one you are proud to have been a part of that excels on and off the court.
