Butler Athletics has a long and proud history that is central to the University’s identity. At Butler, our student-athletes and coaches are committed to winning The Butler Way. This means playing by the rules, putting the team above self, competing with integrity, and seeking improvement every day. With over 500 Butler student-athletes, Athletics is at the heart of our campus life. Approximately 12% of our student body are directly involved in Athletics, either competing on one of our 20 NCAA Division I teams or participating on our dance or cheer teams.
Our mission to provide an exceptional educational and athletic experience for all our student-athletes requires providing the facilities, training, and support our student-athletes need to succeed in the classroom, on the field of competition, and in life.
Join the team that makes it all possible!
Bulldog Club gifts provide Butler student-athletes with uniforms, up-to-date training facilities and equipment, team travel, the finest coaches, recruiting support, academic support programs and other essential components required to support all of Butler’s teams and sports.
Butler’s Day of Giving is the perfect opportunity to begin and continue investing in the success of our current and future Butler student-athletes and spirit squads ... The Butler Way. Help make a difference in the lives of Butler student-athletes by making a gift today!
