Join us at the Volleyball game on November 14 for an exciting night of connection, spirit, and purpose. A small number of Stronger As a Pack t-shirts will be available for purchase at the game, with all proceeds supporting student mental health initiatives through the Strengthening the Pack Giving Fund.

Funds raised will help enhance student-athlete well-being by outfitting the varsity lounge with comforting spaces and mental health resources designed specifically for our athletes. Your support helps foster resilience, togetherness, and a stronger Thunderwolf community.

Let’s come together and make a lasting impact because we’re Stronger As a Pack.
