OUR MISSION

The Eagle Club is the official fundraising arm of Winthrop Athletics. Our department relies on annual contributions by Eagle Club members to offset the cost of student-athlete scholarships, build and maintain first-class facilities, and fund 16 varsity sport programs.  We aim to increase overall revenue and membership each year in order to keep up with the rising costs of running a successful athletics program and competing for Big South championships. 

Your gift helps recruit, educate and train the highest caliber of student-athletes to help Winthrop be the best on and off the playing surface.  The college athletics landscape is changing rapidly and now more than ever, your support is needed.

YOUR IMPACT

In the evolving landscape of college athletics, enhanced financial support from donors becomes crucial. To navigate the impending fiscal pressures and to remain competitive with goals of Big South championships and advancing in the NCAA tournament, Winthrop's athletic department must bolster its fundraising efforts.  Increased contributions will help offset reduced NCAA distributions and support top initiatives such as scholarships, revenue sharing, facility enhancement and student-athlete experience. 

The support of the Eagle Club is imperative for the work that our athletic programs are trying to do for our student-athletes. With the constantly evolving collegiate landscape, it is important to continue to champion athletic departments and staffs like the ones here at Winthrop; where the holistic mission is still central to our purpose as we guide young student-athletes through adulthood. The support has been instrumental in my efforts to continue to improve the experience for the players in our program as they are putting in the work to grow and represent the university at the highest level
