The College of Charleston Equestrian: Help Fuel Our Journey
The College of Charleston NCAA Equestrian Team continues to grow in strength, talent, and competitive success. As we build on this momentum, we are seeking support from our community to help provide our student-athletes with the resources they need to compete— and succeed — at the highest level.
This year, we are fundraising for two critical priorities:
Annual Post-Season Competition Fund
Each season, our riders work tirelessly to earn their place in post-season competition. However, travel, lodging, gear, and associated entry expenses can place a significant financial burden on the program. Your support will ensure that every qualified athlete and horse has the opportunity to represent the College of Charleston on the national stage without financial barriers. This fund will be renewed annually to sustain long-term competitive success.
2026 Athlete Locker Room Project
We are excited to launch fundraising for a dedicated athlete locker room, planned for completion in 2026. This facility will give our riders a secure, functional, and professional space to prepare for training and competition, a standard for our deserving, hardworking student-athletes. The locker room will improve organization, safety, team culture, and recruitment, elevating our program for years to come. Budget goal is $50,000
“Fundraising is the backbone of our program. Every gift directly translates into better care for our horses, elite equestrian equipment for our riders, and more opportunities for our athletes to compete at the highest level. Our team’s success is built on a community that believes in what we’re doing, and we’re incredibly grateful for that support.”
Head Coach Natasha Vitkovic
Make Your Impact
We’re asking alumni, friends, and family members of Charleston Equestrian to come together and support these special opportunities. You know firsthand how the sport shapes lives—building friendships, resilience, and purpose that last far beyond graduation. This is more than a fundraising initiative; it’s a chance to reconnect with former teammates, support the next generation, and help our program continue to grow.
Your contribution, no matter the size, directly supports our athletes’ experience, competitive opportunities, and the continued excellence of the Cougar Equestrian program.
THANK YOU for helping us build a stronger future for College of Charleston Equestrian.
Together, we can ensure our riders continue to excel in the arena and represent the College with pride. For any questions about making a gift, please contact the College of Charleston Athletic Fund below.
