ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., April 18, 2023 — St. Bonaventure University's Bonnies Athletic Fund (BAF) Giving Day offers alumni and friends the opportunity to unfurl their support for today's athletes.

Beginning at 12:01 a.m., April 20, the 24-hour crowdfunding event aims to raise $100,000 to enhance the complete student-athlete experience.

"Our donors are the team behind our teams. Every donation, no matter the amount, fuels everything we do," said Joe Manhertz, Director of Athletics.

The BAF provides the financial support necessary to equip our students with essential gear, support modern training technology and nutrition, provide academic support and much more. A gift of $20 will purchase a resistance band for strength and conditioning or provide training gear for a student-athlete.

Throughout the day, help your favorite team win challenges and additional funding. Please follow us on social media @GoBonnies to learn more about all of the challenges throughout the day.
