Elon University Athletics

About
The “Phoenix Club” serves as the philanthropic support vehicle for Elon Athletics. Supporters of the Phoenix Club are students, staff, faculty, alumni, parents, and friends of Elon Athletics who recognize the value of the athletics experience and participate in the promotion, support, and success of Phoenix student-athletes. Donors to Elon Athletics are provided access to hospitality spaces, parking, monthly department updates, and more based on level of involvement and fund the gifts are directed within the June 1-May 31 membership year.

Annual Fund
The annual fund within the Phoenix Club helps to provide and enhance operational support that impacts and transforms the experiences of student-athletes across all 17 sports and programs. Donors to the annual fund earn access to hospitality and event experiences based on level of annual support. Gifts made to a specific sport within the Phoenix Club help support current and future operating needs of that program.

Donors who make estate or other planned gifts are recognized as members of the Order of the Oak, the university's planned giving society. Through a planned gift program, the Phoenix Club looks with confidence to a future where it can ensure the Elon experience for future generations of those that wear maroon and gold. The impact of planned gifts will have a far-reaching and positive effect on the athletics program as well as the donor.
