Our Mission

Graduating Champions in the classroom, in the community and in competition.

"Your annual contributions provide vital resources to nearly 600 student-athletes across 16 programs. Regardless of gift designation or amount, the support from all of our donors is critical to the success and achievement of our student-athletes, coaches and staff. We are committed to a superior performance by our student-athletes in the classroom and on the courts and fields of play.

This level of success will continue to be achieved thanks to the generosity of donors, alumni, and friends who support the Pioneers. The Pioneers Club is our way of giving back to you. Our goal is to recognize your combined generosity through aggregate annual giving. Your membership will be based on all of your giving to Pioneers Athletics each year. This includes priority seating, hospitality and philanthropic gifts. As a club member, you have the opportunity to invest in the educational endeavors of UW-Platteville student-athletes and make a tremendous impact on their lives and futures.

Our athletic department is extremely proud of the accomplishments of our student-athletes in the classroom, in the community and in competition. I invite you to join the Pioneers Club today and continue GRADUATING CHAMPIONS."
