Our Crowdfunding Groups
The University of Pittsburgh Undergraduate Athletic Training Education Program was established in 1978 and is a leader in the preparation of students studying to be healthcare providers for athletes and physically active individuals. Like Pitt Athletic Training on Facebook for updates!
Clinical education is a major component of the Athletic Training program and requires the students to rotate through on-campus and off-campus clinical sites. While at the clinical sites, each AT student needs to be prepared for medical emergencies, injury evaluations and other clinical activities.
We would like to provide medical kits stocked with the necessary tools for both the clinical rotations and classroom laboratory sessions to our incoming class of AT students. The Panther Packs would not only provide students with the tools for success, but also give them a sense of preparation, pride and professionalism each day.
A sample "Panther Pack" along with the tools each Pack will contain.
The athletic training students, in addition to tuition costs, are burdened with additional fees above the typical undergraduate student. These added expenses include fees for mandatory background checks, yearly physical examinations, laboratory fees and transportation costs to/from off-campus clinical sites. We would like to provide our students with these packs so that they have the tools they need to succeed without increasing their financial obligations.
All funds raised through this campaign will be used to purchase fanny packs and supplies for the athletic training students, starting the fall of 2017.
Our goal for this project is to raise $3,500 for 24 Panther Packs.
