Your gift opens the door.

A gift of $500 sponsors one student's full CIP membership for the season, but every contribution makes a difference — $50 removes a barrier, $125 funds a quarter, $250 funds half. Whether you give the full amount or contribute toward a shared scholarship, you bring a student one step closer to joining a team.
