It's Time to Back the 'Cats

Join the Wildcat Family for a week of giving to fuel Chico State Athletics! 

Your gift supports scholarships, academic success, and the programs that help nearly 350 student-athletes excel in competition, the classroom, and the community. 

Choose your favorite team to help them climb the leaderboard, or give to the Student-Athlete Success Fund to impact every Wildcat. 

Together, we back the 'Cats!

Student-Athlete Success Fund

Your gift to the team (or teams) of your choice will go a long way to supporting a comprehensive—and fantastic—student-athlete experience. 

In addition to supporting teams directly, you can give to the Student-Athlete Success Fund, which provides scholarships, helps recruit top talent, and sustains vital resources like our strength & conditioning center and athletic training staff.

This fund also fuels academic achievement. In 24-25, Wildcats set department records: 

  • 3.298 cumulative GPA—the highest in program history 
  •  223 student-athletes (66%) with a 3.0 GPA or higher—the most ever 
  •  9 Wildcats earning a perfect 4.0 GPA 

 With nearly 350 student-athletes competing this year, your gift will help us push even higher in the classroom and in competition.
