CougarBuilt

Promoting a positive image, aligned with the mission and aims of BYU, out to the community, with a unique, focused effort on youth.

Cougar Built is a fun and inspiring 45-minute presentation that brings BYU student-athletes, Cosmo, and the BYU Dunk Team to local elementary schools!

As part of BYU Athletics' Built4Life program, this experience focuses on four key areas: Love, Learn, Connect, and Work. Athletes will share uplifting messages and lead students through simple, interactive activities. Then, Cosmo and the Dunk Team take over for an awesome dunk show for everyone to enjoy. Students will also have the chance to take the Cougar Built pledge and commit to being thir best selves.
