Celebrating Women's Athletics Luncheon
Held each year to recognize the achievements of Binghamton University's female student-athletes, the luncheon also raises funding for scholarships awarded to female student-athletes at Binghamton University.
Since 2006, the Celebrating Women's Athletics Luncheon has raised more than $500,000 to support the BBAA Women's Scholarship Fund. The scholarships were established in 2007, and have grown each year. In 2018, 10 BBAA Women's Scholarships were awarded to female student-athletes. The luncheon began in 2006, with just 75 attendees, and is today one of the Athletics Department's primary fundraisers. Last year, an event-record 780 guests attended the event.
Luncheon attendees have the opportunity to meet current Bearcat student-athletes and coaches from the women's teams and to hear them speak about the role athletics has played in their development, careers and life. In addition, guests will have the chance to bid on several auction items with all proceeds going toward the BBAA Women's Scholarship Fund.
Tickets for the event are $60 and table sponsorships are $600. To purchase tickets, visit the Events Center Box Office or order tickets online by clicking
