Dickinson athletics will soon be rallying support through All Devils Rise, a five-day fundraising initiative running October 6–10 and aimed at upgrading the Athletics Hall of Fame and launching a new fueling station for Red Devil student athletes. With a goal of raising $150,000 to make both projects possible, All Devils Rise channels gifts to the McAndrews Fund for Athletics, benefiting all 25 of the college’s varsity sports programs.
“This initiative is all about honoring our history while giving all of today’s athletes the tools to succeed,” says Celine Cunningham, director of athletics. “The Hall of Fame renovation celebrates the legends who built our tradition, and the new fueling station gives current Red Devils what they need to compete and thrive.”
Although the fund drive’s theme is “Honoring Our Past, Fueling Our Future,” make no mistake—All Devils Rise will have an immediate impact on the present. Both projects will begin as soon as the funding goal is reached, meaning that they will impact today’s Red Devil student-athletes this year.
Everyone who makes a gift through All Devils Rise will support the creation of the Red Devil Fueling Station, a nutrition hub designed to meet the daily needs of today’s student-athletes. The space will provide convenient access to healthy snacks, recovery drinks and grab-and-go options to keep athletes energized before and after practices, lifts and competitions. By giving student-athletes the tools to refuel properly, the station addresses one of the most critical elements of athletic performance: nutrition.
Beyond physical benefits, the Fueling Station will also serve as a central gathering spot, reinforcing a sense of community among student-athletes from every sport. It’s a space where first-year competitors and seasoned captains alike can come together, fueling both their bodies and their shared commitment to Red Devil pride.
The second initiative every All Devils Rise gift will support is the renovation of the Athletics Hall of Fame, which will be reimagined as a dynamic new space inside the Kline Center. Located in a high-traffic area of the Kline Center, the redesigned Hall of Fame will feature an interactive touchscreen display that tells the stories of our Hall of Famers, McAndrews Award Winners and Hughes Award winners. In addition to displaying their honors, records, and achievements in a compelling, digital format, the display will also highlight historic Red Devil accomplishments. This modern experience will bring the history of Dickinson athletics to life and deepen the connection between past and present generations of Red Devils.

“By partnering with us in these projects, donors will help celebrate our history and elevate the student-athlete experience for all of our current Red Devils,” says Cunningham. “They’ll also make a powerful statement about how our alumni and families stand behind all of today’s student athletes, and how the entire athletics community is committed to shared excellence, knowing that when one devil rises, ‘all devils rise.’ ”
