HONOLULU – University of Hawai'i Athletics and 'Ahahui Koa Ānuenue are inviting fans to "Pledge-per-Win" for the "In It to Win It" fundraising initiative in the 2021 softball season. Although it is currently not possible to attend games, this program provides an alternate way to cheer on the 'Bows while also supporting UH Athletics.

Last year's softball program totaled 9 wins in 24 games and in 2019, 33 wins in 49 games

This year's schedule includes 31 regular season games (post-season games will increase total.)

Here is how it works:

1. Select an amount to pledge per Win recorded throughout the 2021 season.                                                               
2. Watch the Rainbow Wahine and cheer them to victory knowing you are positively supporting all 21 sports and more than 500 student-athletes.                                       
3. Final pledge commitment will be automatically processed within three (3) business days of the conclusion of the seasons to the provided credit card.

Updates on wins tallied will be provided via social media.
Pledges are 100% tax deductible gifts to H-Club and not eligible to earn member benefits.  A receipt noting your final contribution amount will be provided for your files.

'Bows Together is the Athletics Department theme for the year, which includes fundraising activities and a focus on service and social justice awareness in the community. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hawai'i Athletics faces budgetary challenges related to student-athlete education (scholarships, cost of attendance, 5th years scholarship), competitive athletic experience (nutrition, apparel, equipment, travel), and maintaining a safe environment (expenses due to COVID-19 protocols).
