UCI Giving Day 2024

Our women's soccer team is one of only seven programs across the United States to participate in the sweet sixteen of the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two years.  Victories over UCLA in 2021 and again in 2023 underline how hard these players have worked in the pursuit of excellence. Our student-athletes will carry the knowledge and skills learned through these adventures into the next chapters of their lives and impact many, many people.

This Giving Day, your gift will support our team's pursuit of excellence in many ways including scholarships, equipment and technology.  We appreciate the invaluable support from everyone who is able to make a donation.
