Gift to the Live Mascot Program support the care and wellbeing of Drake’s live mascots while preserving a tradition that connects students, alumni, and fans across generations. From daily care and veterinary support to enrichment, transportation, and public appearances.
Support for the Live Mascot Program also helps Griff remain an active part of the Drake community—appearing at university events, engaging with alumni and fans, and serving as a visible ambassador for Drake’s spirit, pride, and sense of belonging.
By investing in the Live Mascot Program, donors help sustain a program that brings joy, builds community, and keeps one of Drake’s most recognizable and cherished symbols thriving for years to come.
