Donna Palivec impacted countless Beavers on the volleyball court.

She served as Bemidji State's head coach from 1994-2001 and earned 119 career victories -- a number that still ranks second all-time at BSU -- and was even the 1995 NSIC Coach of the Year.

In recognition of Palivec's incredible impact, you can give back to her old program with the Donna Palivec Excellence Through Volleyball Scholarship.

The intent of the endowment is to award an annual scholarship to a Bemidji State volleyball student-athlete.

In true Beaver spirit, former BSU volleyball players can make a difference by rallying together to support the program's future through scholarships. You may contribute as an individual or form a team of contributors.

A gift in their name would be very meaningful. If you wish, we will notify them of your act of kindness.

We look forward to your contribution of any amount as we strive to reach our goal and continue the legacy of excellence through this endowed scholarship award.
