Season's Greetings from Creighton Athletics!

Fellow Bluejays,
As we reflect on a very successful fall season, I want to thank you for your support of Creighton Athletics. Your generosity and passion helped drive so much of what our 14 teams and nearly 300 student-athletes achieved in competition and the classroom. I am so proud of what they've accomplished since the start of the 2022-2023 academic year:

Men's soccer won their first BIG EAST Conference Championship and advanced to the NCAA College Cup, collegiate soccer's Final Four.
Women's volleyball won their eighth BIG EAST Championship in the last nine years and earned another NCAA tournament appearance.
The women's basketball team is 8-1 and is consistently ranked in the AP Top 25.
The men's basketball team has two Top-25 wins and is looking forward to the start of the BIG EAST Conference schedule.
Women's soccer won their first BIG EAST Tournament game ever.
Women's rowing competed in the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta for the first time.
Both men's and women's cross country improved their BIG EAST championship placements from last season.
Creighton Athletics earned a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) score of 95%, which was tied for 50^thbest nationally.

Year-End Giving

As we will continue to pursue excellence in everything we do, we need your help to raise our game. Contributions to Creighton Athletics allow us to provide our Bluejays with the resources they need to be highly successful and to continue to compete for and win championships.

Make a Gift to Creighton Athletics

NIL in 2023
As we enter 2023, you are undoubtedly aware that college athletics is in the midst of transformational change. Student-athletes can transfer without the level of restrictions that existed in the past. They may now also benefit financially from their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). I fully support both these relatively new opportunities for student-athletes, and I want to make sure we embrace these changes as positives for current and future Bluejays. There are several ways to directly support the Name, Image, and Likeness of Bluejay student-athletes:

Direct Contact – Opendorse
We have partnered with Opendorse to allow you to connect directly with student-athletes more easily via a dedicated NIL Marketplace. To learn more about this marketplace, please click here. And, if you want to engage with Bluejay student-athletes via Opendorse, please visit opendorse.com/creighton-bluejays.

Collectives
A collective is an organization formed to benefit student-athletes, usually at a specific institution. Often founded by passionate alumni and influential supporters, school-specific collectives pool funds from a wide swath of donors to help create NIL opportunities and help student-athletes monetize their brand through an array of activities. At this moment, there are two collectives formed to benefit Creighton student-athletes:

The Bird Club, LLC, is a company formed to directly support Creighton men's basketball student-athletes. For more information please visit the Bird Club website .
Heart Mind Soul is a collective that was recently formed to support all Creighton student-athletes (all sports). For more information on this collective, please visit the Heart Mind Soul website.

To learn more about Creighton's NIL policy, please visit the NIL policy page on our website.

Thank you
I appreciate your consideration of these giving opportunities, and we are extremely grateful for your continued support. Your direct financial support to Creighton Athletics through year-end giving, as well as student-athletes' NIL endeavors, will help us fully develop our student-athletes, win championships, and differentiate us from our peers. Thank you for making a difference.
Merry Christmas and GO JAYS!
