Columbia Athletics is excited to announce the OneROAR Campaign, a special fundraising initiative, for the 2020-21 academic year. This campaign serves as a centralized all-purpose fund benefiting our more than 700 student-athletes from 31 varsity sport programs and our department's administrative units.

"The past year has required us to think differently about how we continue to provide the best possible experience for Columbia student-athletes, and how to recruit, retain and develop the next generation of Columbia Lions," says Peter Pilling, the Campbell Family Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education at Columbia.

Support for the OneROAR Fund this year ensures continued holistic support to our student-athletes in areas such as tutoring, life-skills, and career development; maintains top-level recruiting operations; and allows for a safe return to competitive activities.

"I am amazed everyday by the remarkable dedication of our coaches and staff.  They believe in our vision and personify our values in everything that they do. The OneROAR fund will help ensure that even in these difficult times we can honor our commitment to helping our student-athletes reach their highest levels of achievement," adds Pilling.  "We have made tremendous progress over the last five years and with the support of our alumni, parents, fans, and friends I know we can accomplish even greater success in the years to come."
