It is our duty to ensure North Alabama’s female student-athletes have equitable access to scholarships, facilities, and experiences during their time on campus. We want to empower our female student-athletes and Women’s programs to have every chance to compete at the highest level possible. Additionally, we want to support and commemorate this historic moment as we honor and remember those who have blazed the trail for Women in sports.  

Title IX is the landmark gender equity law enacted as part of the Education Amendments of 1972, banning sex discrimination in federally funded education programs. The legislation requires public schools to ensure equitable sports opportunities to students, regardless of gender, and has provided greater inclusion of women in sports.  

By supporting the $50 for 50 campaign, you are directly impacting the lives of our female student-athletes. Through your generosity, you will be providing resources that will continue to shape the trajectory of our eight Women’s programs and assist them as they continue to grow and evolve. 

As we honor the 50th anniversary of Title IX, we invite you to partner with UNA Athletics by giving a gift of $50 or more to support our Women’s programs. This historic moment in history has paved the way for female student-athletes to pursue their dreams, and your gift will have a profound impact on the future of Women in sports.  

In partnership with UNA’s First Lady, Dena Kitts, the $50 for 50 campaign is offering you the unique opportunity to gain membership to the Women of Influence program through a gift of $250. This gift will include the cost of the membership to Women of Influence and provide $50 for our Women’s sports programs.  

On behalf of UNA Athletics, thank you for thoughtfully considering supporting our female student-athletes on the 50th anniversary of Title IX.
