Driving STONEHILL ATHLETICS Forward
Athletics at Stonehill
The Stonehill College Athletics Department seeks to pursue excellence in the form of academic and competitive success, community engagement, and whole-person development. The generous support of donors like you plays a vital role in the achievement of these goals.
Student-athletes make up roughly 20% of the undergraduate student body, and central to their experience is the formation of the whole person. It is our intent to develop our student-athletes into transformational leaders for life.
So much of our success is directly related to the support of our steadfast community of alumni, parents and friends—who believe a strong athletic program, paired with Stonehill’s tradition of academic excellence, only serves to augment the College’s rank and reputation.
About the GoHill Fund
A quality collegiate athletic program has always relied upon successful collaboration to achieve goals, and it is no different at Stonehill. Through the hard work and dedication of our student-athletes and coaches and the generosity of our alumni, Stonehill’s athletics program continues to produce incredible results.
Thanks to your generosity, the GoHill Fund supports 575 Stonehill College student-athletes across 23 varsity sports. We also have been able to establish new programs like women’s golf, swimming, and ice hockey. These expansions allow us to offer a more diverse and unique slate of sports for all students to enjoy.
Support for the GoHill Fund advances the development of Stonehill Athletics – providing the means to grant scholarships, improve facilities, fund out-of-region travel, and foster the growth and development of students and staff.
The Impact of Your Gift
Generous donations from the community are what allow our athletics department to pursue our vision and support our student-athletes in every aspect of their game – on and off the field. Gifts support athletic programs, individual team expenses, and athletic travel. In addition, over $3 million in aid is awarded to support student-athletes annually, allowing them the freedom to focus on their craft while balancing the demanding academic expectations.
