Viking Impact Award

We’re excited to introduce the 2025 Viking Impact Award, a new annual initiative from Lawrence Athletics that empowers our athletic teams to make a difference in the Fox Valley community. This initiative was created and is led by Taylor Svoboda, an Athletics Department Intern and Women’s Basketball Player.

From April 20–27, every Lawrence athletics team will compete to sell the most t-shirts through an online store, with proceeds going to the Boys & Girls Club of the Fox Valley. This organization does incredible work supporting local youth, and we’re proud to rally our Viking community behind them.

T-shirts are just $15, and every purchase not only supports a great cause but also helps your favorite team(s) compete for the Viking Impact Trophy—a traveling award that will be passed down to the top-selling team each year. Simply click on the link, pick the team(s) you want to support, and purchase a t-shirt via that team’s tab.

There will be both a direct shipping option and an option to pick up your t-shirt from Alexander Gym.

This initiative is designed to be impactful yet manageable for our busy student-athletes—and we hope you’ll join us in spreading the word and showing your support!

Thank you for helping us turn school spirit into community impact!
