Fundraising Goals:

  • A Summer foreign tour as often as allowed by the NCAA that provides our program a chance to play, travel and grow as a team and learn about the world and one another along the way. In 2011 our team traveled to Costa Rica, and in 2017 we went to Trinidad. Both trips provided cultural experiences, basketball opportunities, and life-long memories that can only happen with this type of foreign tour.
  • Domestic trips in-season that allow our team to play top caliber competition out of region and provide our student-athletes with learning and cultural opportunities that would otherwise never exist. In November of 2018, we traveled to Washington, D.C., and were fortunate enough to experience some of the Smithsonian Museums.

    "As a friend of our program, YOU are a valued and treasured member of our family. The SUNY New Paltz Women's Basketball Team is on the verge of becoming one of the premier programs in all of Division III. After SUNYAC Championships in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022 & 2024, and Sweet 16 appearances in 2017 and 2019, we are poised to take our program to the next level and win National Championships. However, we need your help get us over the hump to take those arduous final steps."
- Jamie Seward, Head Coach
