Ignite Club Sports

Ignite is a student-led fundraising competition where UConn Club Sports teams raise money to help open doors to the experiences, opportunities, and resources that support student-athletes on and off the playing field.

Your support can help fund team travel, competition expenses, equipment, uniforms, tournament fees, and more, giving student-athletes meaningful opportunities to compete, develop leadership skills, build lasting friendships, and represent UConn with pride.

Together, these experiences help shape confident leaders, dedicated teammates, and engaged students who carry the lessons they learn through Club Sports long after their time at UConn.

Thank you for putting students first and advancing the Because of UConn campaign. The world moves forward because of UConn, and all we do is possible because of YOU.
