Northern State Athletics Day of Champions
Northern State University athletics and the United Way of Northeastern South Dakota partner each year for the annual Day of Champions volunteer service event. April 27, 2024 marked the 22nd installment for the organizations. The Day of Champions started in 2002 as a collaborative effort between the NSU Athletic Department and the United Way where Wolves student-athletes give back to the region through a day of volunteering. Since 2002, a total of 2,950 Northern State student-athletes, coaches, and staff have worked on over 250 projects. Those individuals have racked up over 20,000 hours of labor, equating to $227,000 worth of donated labor.
