GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay Phoenix Athletics annual Phoenix Fund Fall Drive has officially begun. The drive kicked off at The Bar on Lime Kiln Road last night with participation from the Phoenix Fund Board, athletics administration, coaches, and student-athletes.
 
The Phoenix Fund is the driving force and lifeblood of Phoenix Athletics with the primary mission of providing our 14 programs and over 250 student-athletes with scholarships, program enhancements, and overall academic, competitive, and program advantages. By investing in the Phoenix Fund, supporters help give Phoenix student-athletes the best opportunity to excel in competition, in the classroom, and in the community. 
 
The annual Fall Drive focuses on engaging with alumni, fans, supporters, and friends of the university with the goal of supporting the Phoenix Fund philanthropically. The Phoenix Fund Board plays an important role in the drive by actively connecting with community members and businesses asking for their continued or new support in all things Phoenix Athletics. 
 
These funds are used to enhance academic services, health and wellness, scholarships, and recruiting among other valuable services for academic achievement and competitive preparation. It is because of the support of many, that Green Bay student-athletes continue to be amongst the best in the nation in academic achievement by locking in 51 consecutive semesters with a department wide 3.0 GPA. In the 2024-25 season, the Women's Basketball program achieved a GPA of 3.86, ranking them #1 in the nation.
 
Last year, the Phoenix Fund Drive raised $736,000. This year the Phoenix Fund Board has set a goal of $1,000,000 to continue to elevate the support and resources for our student-athletes. Phoenix Fund renewal letters are in the mail with information on how to support and how to RISE with us. 
 
Please consider making an impact on the lives of Phoenix student-athletes, of which many will be making an impact in Northeast Wisconsin well beyond their years at UWGB.
