ONE WAY, VARSI TY CAMPAIGN
Message from June Lumsden, MSVU Director of Athletics & Recreation We are excited to officially announce the launch of a dedicated Mount Athletics Varsity fundraising campaign, appropriately called ONE WAY, TOGETHER.
In the present environment, recruiting, retaining and supporting high-level student athletes is extremely competitive and costly. So many of you can empathize with the challenges our student athletes and coaches face daily. Through the ONE WAY, TOGETHER varsity campaign, you have the power to directly impact the success of our student athletes and the Mount Mystics varsity program. We are asking you to support your Mount Mystics now. Your participation in the campaign will help carry the past success of our Mount Mystics program into the future. We look forward to working with you and thank you for supporting our student athletes. Go Mystics!
Message from Dr. Mary Bluechardt, MSVU President & Vice Chancellor Through the ONE WAY, TOGETHER campaign, we are asking all alumnae, friends and Mystics fans to join Together and help propel our varsity programs to reach the next level of excellence. Your contribution to this campaign provides much needed financial support for our student athletes and fosters a rewarding experience as a Mystic. Let’s work TOGETHER and continue to instill a sense of pride throughout our entire Mount community, now and in the future. Please consider a pledge today. Go Mystics!
Message from Mystics Coaching Staff Funds raised through the ONE WAY, TOGETHER campaign will help support excellence in our six varsity sport programs. Your donation will assist us in attracting and retaining the best student athletes and will provide them with financial support to help aid in their success in the classroom and competition. The reality is there is a cost associated with the pursuit of excellence. We are falling behind our competition in terms of funding available to attract and support student athletes, and eventually our ability to compete at the highest level will be compromised. We are asking for your help by donating to the ONE WAY, TOGETHER campaign, so that we can lift our Mystics to new heights and instill our alumnae and our entire campus with pride.
