One Team Day supports Luther’s student-athletes

Luther will host its fifth annual One Team Day fundraiser on Thursday, Nov. 21. The event was launched in 2020 and supports Luther College’s 22 intercollegiate teams and 500 student-athletes both in the classroom and on the field. In 2023, Luther raised $367,000 from more than 1,100 donors, which was the largest-ever One Team Day so far.

“The athletics department looks forward to this day each year,” said Renae Hartl, director of intercollegiate athletics. “These 30 hours are full of meaningful connections that leave us feeling an astounding amount of support.”

During One Team Day, student-athletes invite alumni, family members and other Norse athletic supporters to designate their monetary gifts for specific teams at Luther. Funds raised during One Team Day provide support, such as advanced technologies for training, conditioning and recovery as well as equipment, uniforms, travel, experiences and recruitment.

“We want our coaches to be able to create competitive schedules and provide cutting-edge training equipment for our student-athletes,” Hartl said. “The outcome on One Team Day ensures that we can do so. Your gifts will make a great impact in our programs.”

Supporters may give online at Luther.edu/one-team-day or by calling 563-387-1862. Contributions on Nov. 21 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $125,000 by One Team Day sponsors.

The daylong event will conclude with light refreshments and a cash bar from 5:30–7:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at T-Bock’s on Water Street in Decorah. Luther alumni, parents, coaches and fans of Norse athletics are invited to attend.
