Support CRC Hawks Athletics
Cosumnes River College (CRC) Athletics represents the pinnacle of student-athlete development within the Sacramento region. With a strong tradition of excellence in academics and athletic competition, CRC Athletics fosters leadership, discipline, resilience, and teamwork, skills that prepare our students for success well beyond their time on campus.
Sustaining and enhancing this experience requires ongoing support. Through the Hawk Athletic Fund, donors directly impact more than 300 student-athletes, helping them excel in the classroom, in competition, and in the community. Every contribution, large or small, strengthens the foundation of CRC Athletics and ensures our programs continue to grow and thrive.
When you give to CRC Athletics, you are directly investing in student success on the court, in the field, in the pool, in the classroom, and in our community.

Areas of Need
Your investment in CRC Athletics will directly impact the following key areas:
CRC Athletics facilities are essential to student-athlete safety, performance, and competitive success. Ongoing upgrades help ensure our venues meet conference standards and reflect the quality of top community college programs in California. Projects include soccer team room remodels, softball field improvements, updated scoreboards and sound systems, weight room enhancements, and facility infrastructure such as windscreens, creating a safer, more modern environment for training and competition.
Competition and travel are vital to student-athlete development and exposure. Donor support helps offset rising travel and operational costs while enhancing the game day experience for athletes and fans. Funding supports improved event operations, streaming technology, printed schedules, and sports information staffing, allowing CRC teams to compete at the conference, regional, and statewide levels while showcasing CRC Athletics to a broader audience.
Financial and academic support allows student-athletes to focus on success in the classroom and on the field. Contributions help fund scholarships, reduce the burden of tuition and books, and expand tutoring, mentoring, and academic support services. These resources promote strong GPAs, retention, and graduation, reinforcing CRC Athletics’ commitment to developing well-rounded student-athletes.
CRC Athletics’ rich history deserves to be celebrated and preserved. Support in this area funds recognition initiatives such as the Wall of Recognition, Hall of Fame events, and commemorative plaques. These efforts strengthen alumni connections, build program pride, and honor the legacy of CRC student-athletes and coaches.
Through the Hawk Cares Program, CRC supports student-athletes beyond the field and classroom. Donations help provide housing and food assistance, emergency support, and access to essential resources. Meeting basic needs ensures student-athletes can remain focused, healthy, and engaged in their academic and athletic pursuits.
