Story
As the official fundraising arm of USC Upstate Athletics, the U-Club ensures that our nearly 300 student-athletes, representing 15 varsity programs, have the resources needed to compete for Big South Championships.
Gifts to the U-Club touch every student-athlete, coach, trainer, administrator, and staff member within the athletic department and help fuel our competitive success on the field at a time when our department is experiencing unprecedented success.
Your support helps us offset the rising cost of running a successful athletic department. Gifts to the U-Club help to fund critical initiatives needed for success, such as:
Increased scholarship support for all 15 athletic programs to help level the playing field with Big South opponents
Academic support to help student-athletes succeed in the classroom, such as hiring tutors, providing laptops for academic use during road trips, etc.
Performance and nutrition services so that our student-athletes can develop and fuel their bodies daily, such as providing protein shakes following intense weight room workouts
New and upgraded facilities such as locker room renovations, court refinishing, speaker replacement, equipment storage, etc.
Upgraded video production technology so that we can produce championship-level broadcasts on ESPN+ for the entire world to see
Your support of the U-Club today will help to ensure that our almost 300 Spartan student-athletes have the resources needed to excel academically and on the field, court, or track.
No gifts are too small, as every dollar positively impacts the experience of our Spartan student-athletes.
Thank you for all you have done and all that you continue to do to support Spartan Athletics!
