Crusader Club

The Crusader Club is the fundraising arm for the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at Belmont Abbey College.  By investing in the Crusader Club, you are supporting over 300 student-athletes who are committed to being leaders in their chosen sport of play and across our beautiful campus.

Athletics at Belmont Abbey College has always been an important part of campus life.  Whether it is the championship baseball team of 1892, the renowned teams coached by Humpy Wheeler Sr., the legendary men’s basketball era of Al McGuire, or the many awards won by our tennis, soccer, and other programs over the last 133 years, you are supporting Excellence and Virtue.  We can go no further without celebrating the accomplishments of our baseball team during the 2009 campaign as they completed the year third in the nation.

The goals of the Crusader Club during the 2009-10 year are two-fold: to cover 10% of the designated operating budgets for each varsity sport and to complete several needed capital projects that benefit the entire athletic department.

To accomplish these two tasks, we need your help.  The past and future successes of our athletic programs have been and always will be dependant upon your financial generosity.  We are blessed to count you as one of our benefactors.

In order to meet the needs of our student-athletes and benefactors alike, the athletic department has developed a close working relationship with the Office of College Relations to handle all gift processing related to athletics to ensure proper IRS regulations are followed.

  Our partnerships across campus and with you, the supporters of Abbey Athletics, are truly special.  We are honored to have your support and hope you will consider joining the Crusader Club today at the highest level which you are comfortable.
