Salve Regina University Athletics - Friends of Seahawk Athletics

Thank you for your interest in supporting Salve Regina University and our Seahawk student-athletes. You may designate your gift to the team of your choice or support more than 400 student-athletes by making your gift to the Friends of Seahawk Athletics Fund. All gifts to Salve Regina Athletics enhance the University’s ability to create a first-class environment for our student-athletes and provide our coaches the resources necessary to elevate our programs to unprecedented levels of success.

Go Seahawks!

Colin Sullivan
Director of Athletics

Gifts can be directly designated to the team(s) of your choice or to the greatest needs of the program. In an effort to raise the level of all teams at Salve Regina and the program as a whole, 10% of all gifts will be placed in a general athletics account managed at the discretion of the Director of Athletics. These funds will be utilized toward capital improvement projects that will be non-gender specific in nature and benefit the athletics program as a whole.
