Thank you to all who donated during our In My Shoes: 2026 Giving Day. The campaign spread direct support across 60 different teams and clubs raising $315,789 from a total of 930 donors. Because of the generosity of alumni, parents, friends, fans, and supporters like you, Giving Day was an incredible celebration of what makes the Queen's community so special: a shared commitment to our student-athletes and their success. Whether you made a gift, shared our campaign, encouraged others to participate, or cheered us on throughout the day, thank you.

Your support helps provide student-athletes with the resources they need to thrive, including access to coaching, training opportunities, academic support, wellness resources, and the equipment and facilities that help them perform at their best. But the impact goes far beyond sport. Your generosity helps shape confident leaders, dedicated teammates, and resilient individuals who will carry the values they learn at Queen's into their communities and careers for years to come. Every practice, every competition, every lesson learned, and every opportunity created is made possible by supporters who believe in the transformative power of athletics and recreation.

On behalf of Queen's Athletics & Recreation, every team, every club and every student-athletes whose lives you have touched, thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are building something extraordinary. Thank you for putting yourself in their shoes and investing in their future.
