The sixth annual Tiger Athletics Give Day is live and runs through midnight tonight. Tiger Athletics Give Day, more affectionately known as TAGD, is a 24-hour giving challenge for Princeton Athletics that provides resources for international and out-of-region travel, facility and locker room upgrades, and increased support for student-athlete services.

To date, TAGD has raised over $10 million from 40,000 gifts. The support has enabled student-athletes and teams to achieve a league-high 499 Ivy League Championships — but the Tigers are on the hunt for more.
