What a success! As a program, 57 donors helped us raise $19,115 yesterday. We plan to use part of the money to get our new video system installed this summer, and can't wait to have the new technology to continue to coach our student-athletes to perform at their best. We couldn't do it without the support.

Thank you, from all of Smith Softball

Today, we have an ambitious goal of raising $15,000 for Smith Softball. Part of it will go towards covering the cost of our Spring Break Trip in 2027. We are also raising money for a new video system that will be permanently installed at the field and allow us to broadcast, record, and break down game film automatically.

Thank you so much for supporting Smith student-athletes and helping us provide the best possible experience for their college careers.
