Drake Athletics today announced the public launch of fundraising for the Knapp Center Renovation Project with the announcement of the Schickler Challenge. To encourage philanthropic support of the Knapp Center Renovation Project, Claudia and Paul Schickler will match every gift to the project up to $1 million through December 2, 2021. The $1 million pledge is in addition to a $2 million gift by the couple in the fall of 2019, bringing their total support to the renovation project to $3 million.
The Schickler Challenge allows donors to double the impact of their gift, and multi-year pledges are eligible for the matching gift.
