Each year more than 400 students compete in NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics at Gardner-Webb University. The annual financial support of University alumni and friends to the athletic program provides the foundation for excellence in the classroom and on the playing field.
The Gardner-Webb University Bulldog Club serves as the fundraising arm for the Department of Athletics and plays an important role in funding scholarships for the University’s 21 NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports. As a member of the Bulldog Club, you are not only making a monetary gift to the University, you are providing Gardner-Webb student athletes with the opportunity to achieve their academic and athletic goals.
In addition to the Bulldog Club, the My Team program and the Varsity Club each serve important roles in supporting the Gardner-Webb athletic program. View the 2010-2011 brochure for more information on the Bulldog Club, My Team, and Varsity Club.
