Record-Breaking Dam Proud Day!

CORVALLIS, Ore. – The 2025 Dam Proud Day had a record-breaking number of dollars raised thanks to the generous donations and engagement efforts before and during the campaign.

These are early figures, and official numbers will be released soon:

Oregon State Athletics raised a record total of $1,028,765 from 4,409 individuals:
- Dollars raised increased from record-breaking totals of last year of $915,052 and the first time a single unit on campus has exceeded $1 million.
- With counting still ongoing, only six gifts are needed to surpass last year's total of 4,415 donations.
- Total from this year equate to more than 30% of ALL DOLLARS RAISED at OSU and 40% of ALL GIFTS MADE to OSU.
All 21 athletic funds had at least one challenge gift and each of those challenges were unlocked throughout the day, accounting for just over $434,000.
Every athletic fund also raised more than $10,000 (and 15 funds raised more than $30,000) for their respective priorities and 15 designations attracted 100 or more unique donations.
Five of the top 10 allocations by donor count across the entire university were athletic designations with Women's Rowing finishing second.
Wrestling and Women's Rowing each raised more than $130,000 to finish in the Top 10 across the entire university of dollars raised.

"Dam Proud Day, at its core, is a day to come together and celebrate OSU," Oregon State Vice President and Director Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Barnes said. "Walking across campus and seeing our community come together on a picture-perfect afternoon was another reminder about what is special about our university. To each of you who contributed with your own contributions and played an active role in reaching these record-breaking numbers – THANK YOU."
