Your Impact
By donating to the Silverback Fund, get new programs off the ground, help students become the best athletes in the division, and maintain cutting-edge facilities.
Winningest Football Team
The Gorillas, who have won 21 of their last 22 MIAA contests dating back to the 2021 season, clinch their second straight MIAA Crown.
Advanced Training Facilities
Pitt State builds state-of-the-art facilities dedicated to student-athletes. They train on first-rate equipment for optimum strength and conditioning regimens and practice in MIAA-standard environments.
Addition of Women's Soccer
This is the first women’s sport we’ve added since 1986 and will bring 25 to 30 competitive student-athletes to Pitt State who would not otherwise enroll here.
The Silverback Fund
The Silverback Fund is a unique chance for Pittsburg State alumni, friends, and fans to make a direct and meaningful impact on the academic achievement of our student-athletes.
No student-athlete receives 100% athletic scholarship support. Show your Pittsburg State pride by lifting the burden of academic costs for these outstanding Gorillas and helping them achieve success on the field and in the community.
Our student-athletes give us a reason to wear our crimson and gold with pride. Because of your financial support, they’ll have a bright path to academic success and a sharper focus on
the field.
