LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. - The Lincoln University athletic department has announced the revamping of its booster club, The First Club.
The First Club is the official fundraising arm of Lincoln University Athletics and relies on annual contributions by its members to fuel the critical elements of a first-class student-athletic experience, including student-athlete scholarships, academic support, student-athlete development, build and maintain first-class facilities and additional support for all 13 varsity programs.
"I am excited to launch the First Club," said Lincoln University Director of Athletics and Recreational Services Harry Stinson III. "This booster club will assist our athletic program to fulfill the mission of athletics and to position our athletic programs for success in the future. As we continue to position Lincoln Athletics as one of the premier institutions in Division II, having a development arm to invest into our students, coaches, facilities and our pursuit of greatness is key and is a foundation pillar for sustained success. I'm looking forward to engaging our alumni, former student athletes and community partners in an expansive way to create this avenue for success for Lincoln Athletics."
The First Club supports the overall mission of the athletic department by serving Lincoln University student-athletes, first and foremost, by giving to more than 200 student-athletes the resources that they need to excel, both academically and athletically on the field/court of play.
With your tax-deductible gift, the donor will be allowed to ear mark a portion for a specific sport.
It's built for any budget or level of giving including six levels, ranging from a $50 yearly commitment to $1,000 yearly commitment.
