BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- The Seventh Annual Crimson Pride Challenge (CPC) has ended and was yet again an extremely successful fundraising campaign for the Bridgewater State University Athletics Program. The Crimson Pride Challenge is a social media driven giving campaign where all Varsity and Club sports teams compete against each other to raise funds for their specific programs.
This year’s challenge ran from Monday October 25th through Monday November 15th and brought in a record setting number of total donors & dollars. The Seventh Annual CPC brought in an impressive $82,595.11 from 1,326 donors in just three weeks.
