DURHAM, N.C.βThe Duke field hockey team is thrilled to partner with the Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis for the 2025 season to help raise awareness and funds in a Nets4Mets initiative.
Individuals can support Nets4Mets by pledging money as we track all the statistics around the net β circle entries, goals, assists, penalty corners, shots, saves and shutouts throughout the season. Join Duke field hockey as our success directly translates to supporting an incredible cause within the Duke community. The pledge options are $0.20, $0.50, $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 or a one-time pledge.
This partnership with the Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis will help raise critical funds in support of patient care, research, and educational efforts.
With the totals from the averages of the past four field hockey seasons, the $0.20 pledge would have equaled $138.20 and the $0.50 commitment would be $345.50. The largest pledge would have totaled $1,382. Individuals also can make a one-time pledge of any amount.

The Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis (DCBSM) brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts who seek new answers for these patients. Duke offers some of the most advanced surgeries and treatments, even for paΒtients who may have been told they are out of such options.
