The 2025 Day of Giving has almost arrived! Our opportunity to support John Carroll Football is here, with Day of Giving beginning on April 11.

The JCU Gridiron Club’s Membership Drive was a complete success, as we fundraised for the good of the program with general operations. Now, during the annual Day of Giving, we are fundraising to support JCU Football on specific initiatives.

The specific areas of focus for this year are:

Nutrition: Supplementing the student-athletes’ nutrition is critical. This initiative includes both in-season and out of season support for JCU’s football players

Player Gear: At other Division III schools, football players have to pay for their gear. John Carroll Football does not, so that all players have equal gear. It costs about $225 to outfit a player in gear, which includes shirt/shorts for walk-throughs, a hoodie and hat for cold weather practices, and a travel suit for away games.

Player Experience: Other aspects are important to player experiences. Specific aspects we are targeting this year include new travel bags for gear (the current bags are 10+ years old) and iPads for player film review on the sidelines (NCAC allows for more iPads on the sidelines than the OAC)

Thank you in advance for your support! The Gridiron Club and John Carroll Football program are grateful of your support.
