Friends of Beaver Hockey program will enjoy exclusive benefits such as:
- Special communications from the BSU Men's and Women's Hockey coaching staff
- Invitations to private program events and donor receptions
- Recognition opportunities
- Direct engagement with student-athletes throughout the year
Giving levels for the program start with annual gifts of $100 and up, to major gifts that support everything from scholarships, equipment, educational expenses, and facility enhancements. Whether you're sponsoring a player's equipment, contributing to Alston academic awards for Beaver Hockey student-athletes, or leaving a legacy through planned giving, there's a way for every Beaver Hockey supporter to be part of the team's success. With this program, supporters can choose which program they would like to designate their gifts to.
