The EAF is the all-encompassing umbrella of Athletics giving, donor, and former student-athlete relations. All gifts made to sport excellence funds, capital projects, scholarships, unrestricted funds and to the EKG Society fall under the umbrella and mission of the Eagle Athletic Fund, which is to provide the resources necessary for the success of our student-athletes. Every gift to every athletic fund makes you an Eagle Athletic Fund member! However, to qualify for annual benefits, such as tickets and parking, gifts must be made through seat contributions or the Eagle Athletic Greatness (EAG) Fund. Below are some of the ways you can invest in our student-athletes.<\/p>\n
