Princeton Tigers Are "Stronger Together" On TAGD Today!
December 01, 2020 | General
Now, more than ever, the Princeton Tigers are "Stronger Together".
For the seventh year in a row, Princeton Athletics and the Princeton Varsity Club are holding Tiger Athletics Give Day – TAGD. The first six have been an extraordinary celebration of Princeton Athletics, with fundraising that has eclipsed $13 million across more than 47,000 gifts and gone directly to enhancing the experience of Princeton's nearly 1,000 varsity student-athletes.
"TAGD has been a tremendous vehicle for our department, as it has become an annual tradition on National Giving Tuesday," said Ford Family Director of Athletics Mollie Marcoux Samaan '91. "We are humbled by and grateful for the year-over-year engagement and financial support. If there is anything that this initiative, as well as the ongoing challenges related to the pandemic have shown, it is that we are STRONGER TOGETHER."
This year, the Tigers are rallying together in new ways as the 17 Athletics Friends Groups will be working together to unlock bonus funds based on total donors across all Friends Groups. $200,000 in TAGD Bonus Funds are available thanks to the unwavering support and generosity from the Princeton Varsity Club Board of Directors. Any gift of $20 or more will help us to achieve the collective Stronger Together donor milestones and unlock the PVC Bonus Funds for all Friends Groups. For more information on this year's competitions, click here.
The Princeton Varsity Club will work to secure 10+ new Lifetime Members on TAGD ($5,000 gift to the PVC). Dollars raised by the PVC support all 37 varsity teams and 1,000 student-athletes, as well as strategic priorities of the Department of Athletics.
Be sure to follow the live leaderboards throughout this 24-hour challenge and join the action on social media (#TAGD). We encourage you to share your own Princeton photos and memories as part of our new "Stronger Together" photo mosaic on TigerAthleticsGIveDay.com.

"I am so proud of our student-athletes, coaches and staff for the resolve, perseverance and perspective they continue to display," said Samaan. "As a department, we remain steadfast in our commitment to Education through Athletics and focused on providing our student-athletes with the opportunity to "Achieve, Serve, and Lead." We are most certainly Stronger Together, and I am excited to be together with all of you on TAGD and be back with our student-athletes on campus in just a few weeks."We're Stronger Together Than We Are Apart.
