Athletics

The Golden Bear Athletics Fund
The Golden Bear Athletics Fund is the annual fund for Kutztown University Athletics.  It exists to help provide scholarship and other vital assistance to student-athletes competing in 21 intercollegiate sports.  The strength of The Golden Bear Athletics Fund plays an integral role in the success of the athletic department and its sport programs as a whole.  Annual support of the fund makes it possible for our student-athletes to obtain the tools they need for continued success on the playing venues and in the classroom.   In recent years, the department has finished as high as second place in the race for the PSAC Dixon Trophy, presented annually to the conference school with the best cumulative athletic performance.  In the classroom, our student-athletes' GPA has reached that of the overall student body. 

Your gift can be restricted to any intercollegiate sport or existing athletic scholarship.  For a Golden Bear Athletic Fund brochure and pledge card, contact the KU Athletic Advancement Office at 610-683-4755 or by emailing Alex Ogeka at ogeka@kutztown.edu.   For your convenience, you can also support the Golden Bears immediately  by making a gift onlinePlease note that all gifts will be credited to the Athletic Unrestricted Fund unless otherwise noted in the comment field of the online gift page.  If you wish to support a specific fund listed below, please remember to enter it in the comment section.
