DONATE NOW
The countdown is on — we're just
two days away from the
Fourth Annual Peacock Power 24-Hour Challenge! The challenge begins at
10 a.m. on Wednesday, October 22, and runs through
10 a.m. on Thursday, October 23, as
Peacock Nation comes together once again to support Upper Iowa's student-athletes. If you can't wait to give, don't worry, the pages are open and ready to receive your gift now. Visit
UIUPeacocks.com/Power25 to learn more and find your sport or area of choice.
Our goal this year is bold —
$130,000 — and with the power of our alumni, families, and fans, we know we can reach it! Every dollar raised during the 24-hour window goes directly to enhance the student-athlete experience — providing vital resources for competition, academic success, and leadership growth.
To make this year even more exciting, we're introducing
three unlocking challenges that will help us soar higher than ever:
- The Spark Challenge — When Men's Wrestling reaches 40 total donors, a gift from Pam Whitmore and Fred Koch will be unlocked for the program.
- The Power Surge Challenge — When we hit 300 total donors, Marshall Richards' generous gift will be released to support multiple sports and the Peacock Athletics Fund.
- The Lightning Strike Challenge — When we reach 500 total donors, a powerful gift from Roger and Alice Mangan will be unlocked for Strength and Conditioning.
These challenge gifts represent the momentum and spirit that make Peacock Nation so special — and every donor helps bring us one step closer to unlocking even greater opportunities for our student-athletes.
Over the first three years of Peacock Power, our community has donated more than
$390,000, fueling facility improvements, championship travel, and growth across all programs. That tradition of generosity continues to strengthen our teams and inspire the next generation of Peacocks.
If you are unable to give online, you can still make a pledge by contacting
Howie Thompson at
