Listed below are the several different ways you can become a part of Blazer Boosters.
Pledge Installments
Your donation to Blazer Boosters may be paid throughout the calendar year. To do so, submit the total amount you would like to pledge, then set up a schedule with a Blazer Boosters staff member in order to pay your pledge in installments throughout the year!
Cash or Check
Donations made by cash or check (make payable to UAB Athletics), are acceptable by mail or in person at our office. Our mailing address is:
Blazer Boosters
Bartow Arena West Tower
617 13th Street South
Birmingham, AL 35294
Credit Card or Online Giving
For your convenience, we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. You may also give online by clicking here.
Automatic Withdraw
By using automatic withdrawals, you may break up your annual and/or capital gifts into smaller payments, making it easier for you to support UAB Athletics. An authorized amount can be automatically withdrawn from your checking or credit card account each month. You may stop automatic withdrawals at any time by calling a member of the Blazer Boosters staff. Please keep in mind that for scheduled credit card payments towards the annual fund, you must renew your pledge each calendar year.
Payroll Deduction
UAB Employees have the option of payroll deducting their contribution. With payroll deduction, a designated amount will be automatically withdrawn from your paycheck. Contributions can be in a one-time withdrawal or given over multiple payments. To sign up for payroll deduction, please contact the Blazer Boosters office at (206) 996-9969.
Matching Gifts
Many donors or their spouses are employed by companies that will match cash gifts to charitable organizations. Please check with the HR Department of your company to see if corporate matching is one of your benefits. All matching funds are credited to the donor's account, and receive the same Blazer Boosters credit as if the funds came directly from the donor. Any money you donate to UAB Athletics can be requested for matching, and we generally will apply the match to wherever the original donation was made. For example, a $250 annual donation, matched 100% by the company, will earn the donor a Gold ($500) contribution for that year.
Gifts In Kind
UAB Athletics will accept gifts through trade or in-kind to offset operating costs (i.e. automobiles, lodging, catering, etc.). Benefits for these gifts will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and a portion of the gift may be tax-deductible.
Planned Giving
Planned giving can help you make a powerful and lasting difference to the UAB programs that mean the most to you. We're here to help you accomplish that through the tools and resources you'll find here.
Capital Campaign
Your tax-deductible gift towards a facility project is essential to building a strong foundation for UAB Athletic programs. Your investment allows Blazer student-athletes to enjoy the benefits of a first-class facility and lays the groundwork to compete at the highest level. Many facility naming opportunities are available during the UAB Athletics Capital Campaign. Click here for a current listing of capital projects.
