Membership Growth Largest in 31 Years

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥斖�曝吃瓜 is home to a campus of champions. Fresh off Big South Championships in Women鈥檚 Basketball and Football, a Southern Conference individual title in Wrestling, and a Men鈥檚 Tennis Big South regular season conference title, GWU is announcing another major step forward: the 网曝吃瓜 Bulldog Club has now grown to its largest membership total in 31 years.

网曝吃瓜 President William Downs is excited to see a new and energized interest in supporting the Runnin鈥� Bulldogs in the stands and through membership in the Bulldog Club. Downs noted, 鈥淚t鈥檚 fun to win, and the thrill of victory is contagious. With our student-athletes now reaching new levels of competitive success, we are seeing more loyal fans and friends step up their personal investment in building championship-level programs at our university.鈥�

He continued, 鈥淚鈥檝e said before that wishful thinking alone won鈥檛 produce winners; to win, you need resources and facilities that eclipse those of your rivals. You need scholarships. You need a fan base that is large, loud, and willing to travel鈥�just as ours did this season in carrying Women鈥檚 Basketball to its most dominant performance in the D-1 era. Our Bulldog Club is vital to GWU鈥檚 emerging athletic prowess, and we fully intend to keep the positive momentum going.鈥�

The Bulldog Club is an investment in student-athletes. Membership provides scholarships for nearly 600 GWU student-athletes participating in 22 NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics.

鈥淲ith three team and one individual conference championships and the potential for more, this year proves that championships do indeed begin with scholarships,鈥� affirmed Vice President for Advancement Nate Evans. 鈥淲e are grateful to all those that have chosen to support our student-athletes by becoming a member of the Bulldog Club. Their generosity continues to take the Runnin鈥� Bulldogs to new heights.鈥�

Evans reported that membership has doubled since fiscal year 2021. 鈥淭he Bulldog Club allows student-athletes the opportunity to pursue their education while competing in the sport they love,鈥� he stated. 鈥淟ast year, more than 1,000 donors supported our student-athletes and GWU Athletics through either the Bulldog Club or a donation to sport-specific Fund. With coming up on April 20, we are on pace for even greater success. This new era of GWU Athletics will be defined by a winning culture.鈥�

网曝吃瓜 alumna, and former track and field athlete, and Bulldog Club scholarship recipient, Kelsey Houser, has fond memories of her time as a Runnin鈥� Bulldog. 鈥淔ive years as a student-athlete teaches persistence, mental toughness, and endurance,鈥� Houser related. 鈥淗owever, it also teaches that behind every individual is a well-built support system. Between teammates, coaches, trainers, and staff, I always knew there was someone in my corner. 网曝吃瓜 is a community in every aspect, and I could not be more blessed by the impact the 网曝吃瓜 family has made in my life.鈥�

While members of the GWU Bulldog Club are eligible for exclusive benefits like pre-game hospitality meal access, GWU apparel, priority seating, and more, the most important aspect of the membership is helping GWU student athletes to achieve their academic, athletic, and spiritual goals. Those who wish to join can do so at any time during the year. To find out more, click here.
