NIRSA schools win big with BSN SPORTS

At NIRSA 2024 this past April, NIRSA associate member and sponsor BSN SPORTS ran multiple contests giving campus recreation departments the chance to win much-needed prizes in the form of intramural championship shirts or staff apparel.

The I-M THE CHAMP T-Shirt Contest asked entrants to describe how their department makes a positive impact through sports and to explain what winning new IM Champ Shirts would do for their program. Winners would receive:

• 1^st Place: 750 Champ Shirts
• 2^nd Place: 500 Champ Shirts
• 3^rd Place: 250 Champ Shirts

The Staff Apparel Contest at NIRSA 2024 gave NIRSA members who stopped by the BSN SPORTS booth the chance to win a credit for game-changing products in the brand of their choice. Due to the overwhelming number of entries and positive responses, BSN SPORTS expanded the prize pool to allow five schools to win instead of the original three.

Let’s meet the winners!
