The reception will take place at Grafton Street Pub & Grill located in Harvard Square (see event map) from 12:30-2:30 p.m. in advance of the 3:00 p.m. match-up between the Tigers and the Crimson. Tickets ($25 adults, $15 Young Alumni [2017-present], $10 Children) to the pre-game reception will include tailgate style food and drink.

All Guests must RSVP in advance to ensure that venue capacity is not exceeded.

Tiger Athletics Give Day (TAGD), Princeton Athletics’ 24-hour giving challenge, returns on Tuesday, December 1, 2026 (National Giving Tuesday). Now in its 13th year, TAGD has helped Princeton Athletics raise nearly $42 million across 86,000+ total gifts, directly benefiting Princeton student-athletes and providing for a transformative undergraduate experience.

Each of the 18 Athletics Friends Groups will compete for total donors and total dollars by bracket on TAGD, while working to “Level Up” and beat their most recent 5-year dollars raised average. Additionally, the Princeton Varsity Club (PVC) will be working to secure 10+ new PVC Lifetime Members – click here to read more about the PVC Lifetime Membership program and its impact on Princeton Athletics. (Note: honorary Lifetime Membership gifts are accepted, the donor receives the gift credit while the honorary individual receives all Lifetime Member benefits).

At stake again this year will be approximately $200,000 of Bonus Funds generously provided by the Princeton Varsity Club Board of Directors. Over the past 12 years of TAGD, the PVC Board has contributed over $2.4 million in bonus funds that have benefited our varsity Athletics Friends Groups.

Princetonians can support their respective Athletics Friends Group and/or the PVC by making a gift online at TAGD.Princeton.edu or calling 609-986-TAGD (8243) on December 1st. Any gift of $20 or more will count in the respective donor leaderboards, while gifts of any amount will count in the Total Dollars Raised and Level Up competitions as detailed on the TAGD website.

We encourage Tigers everywhere to watch the live leaderboards throughout the day and follow the competition on social media.
