Welcome to UBC Giving Day 2023! As a program entirely run by students, we heavily rely on the generosity of donors like you to keep our team thriving. Your contributions will go a long way in ensuring that our athletes have access to the resources they need to compete at their highest level. Whether it's funding team travel or covering pool rental fees, every donation counts and will make a significant impact.
We understand that there are many worthy causes vying for your attention, but we hope you'll consider supporting our team and the incredible efforts our athletes put in day in and day out. By donating today, you'll not only be helping to enhance our program, but you'll also be investing in the personal and athletic growth of our student-athletes.
Please take a moment to visit the link below for more information on how you can donate and support our team. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will be deeply appreciated and will help to ensure the success of our program both now and in the future. Thank you for your consideration and support! (Please note Giving Day donations are only happening today and end at midnight tonight!)

We have had the chance to meet you at our open practices but have you had the chance to meet us?
Meet April our Travel & Safety Officer ✈️🚨
She is a biochem student in her fourth year at UBC (doing co-op this year) 🧫🦠
“I joined the team because I wanted to train and push myself, and I fell in love with the team because of the amazing people and culture within the team, and because of how much I saw myself improve when I was surrounded with such a motivating group! When I'm not training or working, you might find me baking, reading, or trying (rather unsuccessfully) to learn to play guitar.”
You can find April on campus running trails in the forest and enjoying the music art and architecture library in IKB 🤓🏛
