Apple Cup Giving Challenge

As your Huskies prepare to battle the Cougars on the gridiron, we’re challenging The Cougar Athletic Fund in a head-to-head competition for donor support. The athletic fund with the highest number of gifts wins the challenge. We need the strength of Husky nation to help us beat the Cougs and win the Apple Cup Giving Challenge. Your gift helps give student-athletes an edge in competition, in school and in life. Let's go Dawgs!
