Thank you for your gift!
ATATH
YES. When the visiting team, Gonzaga faculty/staff or Gonzaga students return tickets from their allotment (i.e. winter break), these single-game tickets are made available to Bulldog Club members at the $250 level or higher. Ticket availability is communicated via e-mail on the Tuesday prior to the game. Available tickets go on sale Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. until our supply is exhausted. Donations to the Bulldog Club also help add to your priority point total which may help lead you to basketball season tickets.
Without our supporters and all of the people that are involved in helping our program, I would never have had a chance to come to the United states and chase my dreams. Playing basketball at such a competitive level and receiving an education from this exceptional university has meant everything to me. My coaches have given me everything I need to develop my basketball skills on the court, but the Gonzaga community gives me everything I need to be a better person. Thank you for your support.

BULLDOG CLUB BeneFIts CHArt Impact Student-Athlete Experience Tax Deduction
It has been 55 years since I was fortunate enough to play my last baseball game wearing a Gonzaga uniform. As a member of the class of ‘62, I marvel at how Gonzaga athletics has emerged over these years. Watching the young student-athletes participating in their sports gives me a tremendous feeling of pride. I am amazed at what this university and those involved have accomplished over these 53 years and I am proud to call myself a “zag”. Join with me in supporting Gonzaga Athletics.

Without my scholarship I wouldn’t have been able to be a part of the opening of the stevens Center or a team that made an inaugural appearance in the nCAA regional. I’ve also had the opportunity to meet many influential people and travel across the U.s. playing the best of the best. Gonzaga is a place I call home and it wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for the donors, the university and love from all of my teammates. You do make a difference.
