University of Miami Athletics launched the second annual Canes Pride Competition through the CanesUnited Student Rewards app. The competition encourages student organizations to attend Miami Hurricanes sporting events and compete for cash prizes based on attendance. The program runs throughout the 2026-27 school year.
A total of $24,000 will go to the five student organizations with the most attendance points. The first-place organization will receive $10,000, followed by $5,000 for second place, $4,000 for third place, $3,000 for fourth place and $2,000 for fifth place.
How students can participate
Students must download the CanesUnited Student Rewards app at CanesUnitedRewards.com, create a profile and select their student organization or organizations. They earn points for their organizations by attending designated events and checking in through the app. Student organizations can monitor the Canes Pride leaderboard throughout the year.
Incoming Miami students can begin checking in to events as early as Aug. 10 during the Cane Kickoff student orientation program. Students also can earn individual rewards throughout the year for attendance and loyalty. Those rewards include Miami Hurricanes merchandise, signed memorabilia, electronics and tickets to high-interest events throughout the community.
Category 5 won the grand prize in the inaugural competition. Nine other student organizations also earned prize money, including Pi Tau Sigma, the Homecoming Executive Committee, Lambda Chi Alpha and IBIS Yearbook.
