Give to Thunderbirds Athletics

College athletics creates opportunities that extend far beyond competition. Through their experience at Southern Utah University, student-athletes learn discipline, leadership, teamwork, resilience, and accountability. They represent SUU throughout the region and across the country while working toward something even more important than athletic success: earning a college degree.

When you give to Thunderbirds Athletics, you help student-athletes:

• Earn a meaningful college degree
• Compete for championships
• Develop as leaders and teammates
• Receive high-quality academic and wellness support
• Prepare for successful careers and lives after athletics

Every contribution strengthens the Thunderbird student-athlete experience.

Donor support helps enhance:

• Scholarships
• Academic Success
• Health & Wellness
• Championship Resources
• Team Travel
• Leadership & Career Development

As Thunderbirds Athletics competes in the Big Sky Conference, donor support will play an essential role in positioning our student-athletes and programs for long-term success.

This new era creates an opportunity for alumni, former student-athletes, parents, fans, and community members to come together around a shared vision:

• Build championship programs.
• Develop future leaders.
• Strengthen the Thunderbird legacy.

Every donor has a different connection to Southern Utah University.

The Thunderbirds Athletics Alumni Club (TAC) unites SUU Athletics alumni through the shared purpose of giving back to the programs that helped shape who they are today. As former Thunderbirds, the lessons learned, relationships built, and pride worn in competition extend far beyond our playing days.

Each recurring monthly gift provides meaningful, year-round support by strengthening student-athlete scholarships, enhancing facilities, and elevating team experiences across all programs.

By joining TAC, alums play a direct role in honoring the Thunderbird legacy while ensuring today’s and future student-athletes have the same opportunities to compete, grow, and succeed in competition, in the classroom, and in the community.

Once a Thunderbird, Always a Thunderbird!
