To our friends, family, and alumni:

The UCONN Ski Team relies on the support of our school, friends, and family to stay competitive and compete in the USCSA against other top-tier colleges and universities. While we are fortunate to receive funding from UCONN, each season still come with significant out-of-pocket expenses for our athletes. These costs cover lane space, life passes, housing, equipment, race registration, etc. and are shared among team members to ensure we can train and compete in the USCSA. If you are interested in supporting the team or getting involved, please feel free to Email the Team or Email Coach Jeff Lagasse!

Following the Regional Championships, the team also launches a GoFundMe campaign to support athletes competing at Nationals, helping cover lodging, airfare, and entry fees (approximately $560 per racer), many of which are not covered by the university. We are incredibly grateful for the continued generosity of our alumni and supporters, whose contributions make these opportunities possible.

To keep dues manageable for our athletes, we organize fundraisers throughout the year to offset these out-of-pocket expenses. Each fall, we host a BBQ fundraiser and a silent auction featuring food, music, and lawn games as an opportunity for athletes, family, friends, and alumni to connect and reconnect. In addition, we also run several online fundraisers promoted on our Instagram page ( @uconnskiteam)!

Following Regionals, the team also launches a GoFundMe campaign to support our athletes competing at Nationals, helping cover lodging, airfare, and entry fees (approximately $560 per racer). If we qualify for Nationals, many of these expenses are not covered by the university. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our alumni and supporters, whose contributions make these opportunities possible!
