557 Student-Athletes. 105 Seniors. One Team.

This online giving campaign is your chance to make a direct impact on OWU Athletics, supporting all 24 sports and 557 student-athletes, including the 105 seniors. From April 21 through April 23, gifts made through owu.edu/b4b to Team OWU - Athletics helps support Battling Bishops Athletics’ greatest needs, including:

  • Uniforms and equipment for all 24 NCAA Division III Varsity sports;
  • Maintenance of fields, courts, pools, and equipment—expenses that persist even in the absence of competition;
  • Travel expenses for the regular season, tournaments, and player recruitment;
  • And much more.
