Giving Day was truly transformative this year. Usibelli Coal Mine launched support of the World Class Ski Trail Project with their gift at Gold Rush and Giving Day challenge, totaling $300,000. The UCM Ski Trail Challenge received support from 81 Nanook fans, surpassing the 49 fans needed to unlock the challenge!

25 Nanook fans supported Sarah and Dr. Cary Keller's Hockey scholarship challenge, unlocking a gift from the Keller's that will endow the scholarship, ensuring hockey student-athletes have support forever. Everyone who supported this challenge made it possible for awards to be made this next academic year. 

The Hockey Alumni Association continues to be a pillar of support for the Nanook Hockey program. 40 hockey fans supported their challenge, unlocking $20,000 to support the hockey program for the next season. Thank you to the Hockey Alumni Association for helping bring the hockey community together!

Thank you everyone for making Giving Day a record-breaking one!
