The Bear Necessities are back for Baylor Giving Day, and this year, we're adding something new to the mix! In addition to supporting sport-specific giving through Excellence Funds that empower Baylor Athletics, we’re excited to include GXG, Baylor's NIL initiative, as part of our Bear Necessities. While both are distinct, with the Excellence Funds focused on program-specific needs and enhancements and NIL supporting immediate student-athlete opportunities, each is essential to fulfilling our mission of Preparing Champions for Life. Together, they help us provide the resources and support necessary for our student-athletes to thrive both in and out of their sport. Your gift to the Bear Necessities makes a lasting impact on the future of Baylor Athletics — join us in making a difference today!
