It's easy to see that our student-athletes give 110% in competition, in the classroom and in the community. The Athletic Foundation invites you to join our student-athletes by adding an extra 10% to your annual Eagle Fund donation.
The Eagle Fund, which is the main fundraising arm for the Athletic Foundation, is the annual scholarship fund for Georgia Southern's student-athletes. Contributions to the fund support over 386 student-athletes who play in one of the 17 Division I varsity sport programs by providing academic scholarships.
While Eagle Fund directly benefits student scholarships, members who chose to give 110% can choose where their extra 10% is allocated:
- the annual fund;
- a sport-specific fund;
- or the Coaches' Continuity Fund.
Each contribution to the Athletic Foundation directly impacts all of Georgia Southern's student-athletes and athletic departments that work to win championships and bring recognition to our University and state.
Donors who take advantage of the 110% initiative will receive a 110% decal, recognition on the Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation website and the personal satisfaction of giving above and beyond. By supporting the Foundation, you are helping student-athletes achieve their goals in competition, in the classroom and in life.
The Eagle Fund renewal deadline is Friday, June 30, 2016. To give 110% back today, simply check the space provided on your 2016-17 Eagle Fund Renewal Form that was mailed with your 2016-17 Fan Guide or call 1(800) GSU-WINS. To donate online, log into your account at GSEagles.com/Login. Further questions may be directed to the Georgia Southern Athletic Foundation at 1-800-GSU-WINS or AthleticFoundation@GeorgiaSouthern.edu.
Membership in the Eagle Fund is recognized by unrestricted annual gifts that are made between July 1 - June 30. All accounts must be paid in full by June 30 to receive upcoming Eagle Fund benefits. Contributions can be given at any level, but a minimum gift of $120 is required to activate an annual Eagle Fund membership and receive benefits including, but not limited to Priority Points.
