Education through Athletics

Tiger Nation,

We are thrilled that Tiger Athletics Give Day (#TAGD) is returning for Year No. 13! This 24-hour giving challenge will take place on Tuesday, December 1, 2026.

TAGD has fostered enthusiastic and spirited competition among our 38 varsity teams and 18 Athletics Friends Groups while serving as a vital fundraising initiative for the Department of Athletics over the past decade. Thanks to the continued generosity of the Princeton Varsity Club Board of Directors, Bonus Funds will once again be awarded through several exciting competitions, helping to spur excitement and engagement throughout the day.

The first twelve years of TAGD have been remarkably successful, yielding more than 86,000 gifts to-date. Last year alone, our community contributed a record $6.6 million across more than 6,000 donors, underscoring the passion and commitment of the Princeton Athletics family. The response to our call for support has been extraordinary, and every Princeton student-athlete has benefited directly from the funds raised. These investments have supported initiatives such as locker room enhancements, international and out-of-region team travel and expanded student-athlete resources and programming, to name a few.

On TAGD, we celebrate the generations of Tigers who have helped build our tradition of excellence and continue to provide for this transformative experience for current and future Princeton student-athletes. We are deeply grateful for all that you do in support of Princeton Athletics and hope you will join us once again for Tiger Athletics Give Day.

Past. Present. PRINCETON.

With great appreciation,

Princeton Department of Athletics
