Los Rios Athletics Day of Giving
One Team. Four Colleges. Endless Impact.
Support Student Athletes Across Los Rios
Across American River, Cosumnes River, Folsom Lake, and Sacramento City Colleges, student athletes are pursuing their education, competing with purpose, and building pathways to transfer, career success, and lifelong leadership. As members of the California Community College Athletic Association (3C2A), Los Rios athletic programs help expand access, promote equity, and support academic achievement.
The Los Rios Athletics Day of Giving is a special opportunity to support student athletes at all four colleges. Gifts made on this day help provide resources beyond general athletic operations strengthening programs, expanding opportunities, and helping student athletes thrive in competition, in the classroom, and in their daily lives.
Whether you give to athletics districtwide or choose the college that inspires you most, every gift makes a meaningful difference. Your support helps ensure student athletes have access to the tools, services, and encouragement they need to succeed in college and beyond.
Make your gift on September 16 and help Los Rios student athletes go further.
Why Community College Athletics Matter
Community college athletics opens doors for students who are working hard to achieve their academic, athletic, and career goals. For many student athletes, the opportunity to compete at the community college level also creates a pathway to transfer, personal growth, leadership development, and future success.
