SUPPORTING & PARTNERING WITH Colgate University men's and women's basketball student-athletes
The 13 Collective was created to empower Colgate University men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes to achieve their greatest potential academically and continuing the tradition of achievement in every field and every arena. 13 is synonymous with Colgate’s 13 founders with 13 dollars, 13 articles and 13 prayers, and pays homage to those Colgate student-athletes who have come before and who “earned their stripes” competing for championships. Our goal is to help current and future men’s and women’s baskeball Raiders leverage their name, image, and likeness to build a brighter future for themselves and the Colgate University community.
