Blazer Boosters Giving Opportunities
Blazer Scholarship Fund
UAB Athletics must have the strongest support base possible in order to compete in the American Athletic Conference. There is strength in numbers, and building a championship culture continues with a strong commitment from our alumni, friends, and corporate supporters. Continuing to improve upon the foundation of support is vital to the growth and future success of Blazer student-athletes, coaches and the UAB Athletic Program. The Blazer Scholarship Fund is the athletics department's primary vehicle to offset annual scholarship costs for UAB student-athletes. Blazer Boosters members are eligible to receive benefits such as priority seating, hospitality access, and invitations to private events. Annual memberships begin at $50.
For more information about the Blazer Club Scholarship Fund, contact the Blazer Boosters office at (205) 996-9969.
Champion Club
Blazer Boosters members who give to the Blazer Scholarship Fund at the Hall of Fame Level ($10,000) or above are considered Champion Club members. Champion Club membership benefits vary based on your level of giving.
Ever Loyal Society
The UAB Athletics Ever Loyal Society recognizes those individuals and corporations that make commitments of $25,000 and above to the UAB Athletics Foundation. The Ever Loyal Society will be one of the cornerstones of the Department of Athletics' growth in fundraising to help position Blazer Athletics to compete at the highest level nationally. In recognition of their generosity, Ever Loyal Society members gain access to exclusive stewardship opportunities. These major gift commitments are above and beyond annual donations for priority seating and parking.
Capital Initiatives
Gifts towards any of UAB Athletics' capital initiatives help position Blazer student-athletes to compete at the highest level nationally and are essential to the growth of the UAB Department of Athletics. Commitments towards capital initiatives are above and beyond any ticket-related annual membership and can be fulfilled over a multi-year period.

Sport Gift Accounts
Sport gift account donors contribute to the enhancement of a specific program's operating budget. Donors are not eligible for benefits such as priority seating or parking benefits as outlined in the Blazer Boosters membership guide. However, sport-specific donors are eligible for nontangible benefits, such as a tax deduction, as well as benefits outlined by the sport in which their restricted contribution is made. For more information on sport-specific contributions, please contact Blazer Boosters at (205) 996-9969 or blazerboosters@uab.edu
B Club
The B Club is the official organization within UAB Athletics that recognizes and coordinates former Blazer student-athletes of all sports to keep them engaged with UAB. Members have the opportunity to reconnect with teammates while helping promote and serve the UAB Department of Athletics. Former Blazer student-athletes with an annual Blazer Boosters membership of at least $100 directed to any athletic initiative will be considered an active B Club member.
The B Club is dedicated to establishing an elite letter winner association by supporting Blazer Athletics and building a lasting tradition for all letter winners by uniting past, present, and future student-athletes through fellowship, networking, and support.

Competitive Excellence Fund
Incorporated into Blazer Boosters, the Competitive Excellence Fund strengthens the ability to recruit, retain, and develop UAB student-athletes. Donations to the Competitive Excellence Fund are tax-deductible and will help support Blazer student-athletes through Blazer Boosters. Gifts can be given to either the general fund or for a specific sport team, but not directly to a specific student-athlete. This fund will replace previous contributions through collectives.
