FGCU Eagles
Building champions
JOIN THE EAGLES CLUB TODAY The Eagles Club is the official organization that supports Florida Gulf Coast University Athletics. Financial assistance from Eagles Club members helps to build the University’s athletics program, develop outstanding facilities, and fund scholarships. More than 250 talented student-athletes in 14 sports benefit from the Eagles Club’s backing each year. In addition, the Eagles Club provides members with opportunities to volunteer and participate in exclusive social and networking events, as well as the satisfaction from assisting so many quality young student-athletes.
we are eagles.
why we need your help As the cost of tuition at FGCU increases each year, the Eagles Club is called upon to provide additional resources in support of student-athlete scholarships. While operational costs rise, your Eagles Club membership becomes more important each year. By becoming an Eagles Club member, you can make a tangible difference in our quest for excellence in every area of competition. In addition, you can take pride in knowing that your contribution will make a difference as we continue to prosper at the national level. Intercollegiate Athletics receives no state appropriations; therefore, private support from donors like you is critical.
Dear Eagles Club Family, Greetings from FGCU Athletics! As we wrap up another memorable year here on “The Nest,” on behalf of all our student-athletes and coaches, I want to extend our tremendous appreciation to all those who have helped make our numerous successes possible. From four more championships and three nationally ranked teams to date, a record cumulative grade point average and countless community service hours to a first ever Alico Arena sellout and more victories over BCS programs in a number of sports, 2010-11 was another milestone campaign. The key to our future accomplishments will be our abilities to generate much needed additional external resources. Hence, we must continue to grow our Eagles Club membership, amongst other avenues (i.e., ticket sales, corporate sponsorships, etc.). In turn, through the efforts of your Eagles Club Board of Advisors, we added new benefit options to Eagle Club Members over the course of this past year, to include: • • • •
Pre-game dining Reserved parking for basketball (helpful with increased crowds) New networking events with coaches and student-athletes Enhanced Internet broadcasting of FGCU Athletics via our website.
Striving to always improve our game-day experience, we hope you agree that these benefits are valuable and worthwhile additions to our package. In particular, the new networking events are reserved exclusively for our Eagles Club members at certain levels. If not already there, please seriously consider joining our company come next season.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY
We have a great beginning to our FGCU story, but our best years are ahead as we are now fully post-season eligible in every sport! Likewise, your continued generosity greatly enhances our path to future successes, and we are very thankful for all those who have been with us as loyal season ticket holders and Eagles Club Members like you and we feel very fortunate to know so many of you and call you our friends. We look forward to sharing many additional future Blue & Green victory celebrations with our great Eagles Club members in the years ahead. In the meantime, thanks for all that you do for FGCU Athletics! God Bless & Go Eagles!
