Overview
Help Send the Ravens to Puerto Vallarta International Basketball Classic: Compete. Grow. Represent.
In December 2026, we have an incredible opportunity to take our program international — competing in a prestigious invitational tournament in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This trip will not only challenge our team on the court but also give our student-athletes exposure to international play, diverse cultures, and valuable life experiences. We’re asking for your support to help make it happen.
The Background
This isn’t just a basketball trip. Your generosity helps support:
- High-level competition: We’ll be facing top level U Sports and international programs, testing our skills, and preparing for a national championship run.
- Cultural exchange: For many of our players, this is a first-time international experience, offering perspective beyond the classroom and the court.
- Team building: Travel deepens connection. Moments off the court — exploring a new place together — strengthen bonds that matter during the toughest games.
- Pride and representation: We’ll proudly represent Carleton and Canada on an international stage, showing what Canadian student-athletes are capable of.
The Rollout
Your gift will help cover:
- Flights and travel expenses
- Lodging and meals
- Tournament fees and logistics
- Educational and cultural experiences
Every dollar makes a difference. Whether you give $25 or $2,500, you’re investing in the growth of our student-athletes — as players, as students, and as leaders.
The Impact
Recent changes to NCAA recruiting rules—particularly related to name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation and increased transfer activity—have made it even more challenging to compete for top talent. To attract and retain elite student-athletes in this new landscape, we must offer a program experience that rivals the best. Your support helps ensure we are providing the opportunities that set our program apart!
