I Give a Buc

In August, the ETSU Athletic Department officially launched the I Give a Buc campaign in support of our Be GREAT initiative. The purpose of the campaign is to provide resources and create a world-class experience for every one of our student-athletes. To do this, we have to focus on new programs including mental health, nutrition, sports psychology, career development, and mentoring.

I Give a Buc is not about better seat location, priority parking, or any other perk associated with donations. The program is solely focused on individuals making a gift to help each of our student-athletes succeed. I Give a Buc is about building a group of individuals who desire to touch the lives of ETSU student-athletes. For us to move forward as an athletic department, we will need our coaches and student-athletes to totally commit to the concept of Be GREAT. To be able to totally implement our Be GREAT Student-Athlete Success Model, we need everyone who cares about ETSU Athletics and ETSU student-athletes to participate in the I Give a Buc campaign.

We are asking every individual connected to ETSU to give a “Buc” a day, $30 a month, or $365 a year. Allocating $1 a day will help our student-athletes to have competitive nutrition availability, a full-time mental health counselor, and a career planning and I GIVE A BUC Campus Conversations: I Give a Buc placement center. Anyone who contributes can have pride in knowing they helped to make these valuable resources available to student-athletes.

Every dollar we receive will go toward our Be GREAT Student-Athlete Success Paradigm. Your donation will help our student-athletes be successful in every phase of their lives.

With your help, we can do great things. Our head coaches and administrators have pledged to help every ETSU student-athlete by committing to I Give a Buc. Please join all of us in this effort by visiting IGiveaBuc.com, and proudly say to all your fellow ETSU friends, “I Give a Buc!”
