Sport Giving

Sport specific gifts are a vital component to the successes of our programs, and in addition to gifts to the Owl Club Athletic Fund, provide necessary resources to support the holistic TRUE student–athlete experience for all 350 student-athletes. All contributions to sport specific funds are directed to the program of your designation in order to provide incremental support for special initiatives beyond the team's annual budget, as determined by the head coach, sports administrator, and director of athletics. Sport specific giving does not qualify for Owl Club Athletic Fund benefits.
