WINGATE, N.C. – With an enhanced benefits structure in place, memberships for the Bulldog Club are now available for 2021-22.

The Bulldog Club provides financial support for the student-athletes of Wingate's 23 varsity teams and helps address their most pressing needs. Donors may make gifts to the general athletic department or to a specific athletics program and be eligible to receive Bulldog Club benefits. Those who give at a level of $1,000 and up are also included in the university's Difference-Makers Society and receive extra recognition.

Last year, Bulldog Club members helped the athletic department set a record for fundraising with over $315,000 raised. The Bulldog Club also had a record 1,144 donors.

That effort helped Wingate's student-athletes not just on the field, claiming six conference championships and a national championship in baseball, but off the field as well, with the department achieving a GPA above a 3.0.
