In lieu of gate charges, Maryville College football matchup vs. Greensboro on Oct. 7 seeks donations to 20 for 23 IMPACT campaign

Oct. 4, 2023

Maryville College will not charge entrance fees to the Fighting Scots’ matchup with Greensboro College this Saturday, Oct. 7, on Honaker Field. Instead, fans will be asked to donate to the Athletic Department’s 20 for 23 IMPACT campaign.

Information and QR codes to the safe and secure giving website will be available at the entrance and other locations near the field.

The annual fundraiser, which began on Sept. 11 and continues through Homecoming Saturday on Oct. 21, allows Scots fans to donate to the Scots Athletic Department generally or to one of its 16 varsity sports and two club sports. The website details the funding priorities of each team and monetary goal.  

All money raised will be spent in the 2023-2024 academic year.

“Each program has identified enhancements to the student-athlete experience, and every student-athlete will ask 20 supporters to donate $23 towards their sport’s campaign,” explained Sara Quatrocky, the College’s athletic director. “This fundraiser provides critical dollars for equipment, programming, recruitment, travel and any unforeseen costs as we prepare for 2023-2024 competition.

“Our goal is to ensure that each of our 430 students who dons the Orange and Garnet has the premier NCAA Division III academic and athletic experience,” she added. “We simply could not do this without the generosity of our donors.”

The gates to Honaker Field will open at noon.  Kickoff is at 1 p.m.
