Fueling Performance

Knightro points at the camera.

“Every gift to UCF Athletics helps fuel our drive — on the water, in the classroom, and in life after graduation. As a student-athlete, I feel the impact of Knights supporting us every day. Knowing there are people out there who believe in us and invest in our future is both humbling and motivating.”

Hannah Lovejoy, UCF Student-Athlete


Behind every buzzer-beater, game-winning touchdown and record-breaking finish are student-athletes who give their all — in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Their dedication inspires Knight Nation, and thanks to your gift, they have the support they need to keep pushing forward. Athletics received 1,000+ gifts and raised more than $3.4 million during UCF Day of Giving 2025.

Your generosity is helping to provide scholarships, academic support, nutrition programs, training resources and championship-caliber facilities. But more than that, you’re shaping future leaders through the discipline, resilience and teamwork they forge on the field, court and course.
