We know to be able to recruit, support and continue to excel in Montana Tech Athletics we need to raise unrestricted funds. This will allow us to provide scholarships for student athletes, purchase new equipment and provide improvements and upkeep to facilities, expand and support coaching staff salaries, promote our programs and enrich our community. In short growing our Digger Athletics Legacy Fund, helps grow Digger Athletics. 

The Digger Legacy Fund will work to provide a championship level experience for all of our student-athletes. We cannot achieve this goal without you and your continued support.  

During DayOne an incredible group of Digger Alumni have banded together to offer a 1:1 matching opportunity for all gifts made to the Digger Athletics Legacy Fund up to $17,000.

In addition we are launching the Digger Legacy Club for donors to the Digger Athletics Legacy Fund. Membership levels include the Pick & Hammer Society available to former Montana Tech student-athletes and coaches. Additional societies within the Digger Legacy Club include Green, Copper, Gold, All-Conference, All-American and All-Oredigger.  For additional information on the Digger Legacy Club contact Montana Tech Athletic Director Matt Stepan at mstepan@mtech.edu. 

Please help us meet our $17,000 1:1 matching opportunity during DayOne with a gift to the Digger Athletics Legacy Fund  and spread the word! Share this project on social media, by email and tell your friends!
