Today is Pitt's annual day of giving. See link in tweet to make a donation to the best team at Pitt
Volleyball Pitt Day of Giving
- Thread starter Chaos
- Start date
The players donating to the program is so incredibly earnest, my god.
I’m in on this. By far the best thing going at Pitt and has been for quite some time
Likewise. Gave a contribution as well. Ditto my wife. Look forward to the upcoming season

$32,916-likely more than all other Olympic sports teams combined, and deservedly so
I am not throwing shade.....but what surprised me was that less than 200 people donated. I think season ticket holders are easily well over 1000. Nevertheless.....it was a successful day and those that donated gave about $190 on average......well done everyone!
If you look at the overall donations, the vast majority of the money went to education and rightly so. People attend Pitt because it's such a good school and athletics will always fight up hill. I didn't give anywhere close to $190 (I'm a little strapped with a certain other volleyball player, right now) but obviously many gave much more. At the very least, there is a good reason to feel optimistic about the support the team enjoys.
Volleyball had the highest $$$ donations of ALL sports-even more than football and basketball. Although I think people give to Alliance 412 for those 2 sports.
My thought on donating to football (and basketball too) on a day like that would be that sometime in the next couple of weeks I am going to renew our season tickets, which will include a mandatory donation of more than $1,000. I'm not going to throw them an extra $100 or something like that now, when they are going to get a lot more than that from me really soon.
