The University of Northern Iowa offers a comprehensive intercollegiate athletic program which includes 18 men's and women's sports. Each year over 300 student-athletes from across the country have an opportunity to compete for the Panthers on a regional, and in many cases a national, level. At UNI, an important part of intercollegiate athletic experience is the participants' opportunity to enjoy success both in the classroom and on the field of play. In 1963 the Athletic Club was formed to ensure these objectives were met annually. During the past 43 years, the organization has enjoyed tremendous growth. That inaugural year, 100 people contributed a total of $6,000. Today, more than $1,000,000 in cash and $600,000 in gift-in-kind is received each year from supporters across the country. While the name has changed and the dollar amounts have increased, the mission remains the same. The Panther Scholarship Club's purpose is to raise money to assist the athletic department in providing scholarship support for student-athletes. Each contribution, regardless of amount, helps to allow a young person realize the dream of earning a quality education while enjoying the thrill of competing athletically on a national level. Each year, universities across the country rely more heavily on private contributions from people like you to help keep pace with the escalating costs of higher education. At UNI, we hope you will choose to support the athletic program so that Panther student-athletes can continue to build on their successes. Your investment will do much more than produce victories. You will be helping to prepare young men and women to be winners in life after graduation.

Thank you
