Good, Smart, and Talented: Supporting Fisher Athletics
At St. John Fisher University, our student-athletes do more than compete—they lead, excel, and inspire both on and off the field. With more than 700 student-athletes across 25 varsity teams, Fisher Athletics thrives thanks to the generosity of donors like you.
When you support the Fisher Fund for Athletics, you invest in:
- State-of-the-art facilities that foster training, teamwork, and community spirit—spaces where Cardinals strive for championship performances and fans come together to celebrate.
- Advanced training equipment and technology that prioritize athlete safety, enhance performance, and support injury prevention and recovery.
- Team travel and competition opportunities, enabling Fisher teams to compete at the highest levels and build lifelong bonds through shared experiences.
- Leadership development, academic support, and mentorship, helping student-athletes build the discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills they need to succeed not only in their sport but in the classroom and beyond.
