FLORENCE, SC – The Francis Marion University Athletic Department and Hour-A-Thon will host its first-ever fundraising event on Sunday, Sept. 13, from 6:00-7:00 p.m., with all athletic programs involved.

On Sunday night, each Patriot athletic program will take part in a one-hour fundraising event, with all proceeds raised going directly to the individual sport chosen by the donor. Each donation goes to improving the student-athlete experience at Francis Marion and helping elevate FMU Athletics.

In partnership with Hour-A-Thon, FMU student-athletes will directly contact their potential supporters (friends, family, and colleagues) via a text message and phone call. If you decide to donate, click the link provided to go to a secure donation site. Hour-A-Thon keeps it simple and will not require you to register, create a login, upload a picture, or enter an email address.
