JOIN THE LEATHERNECK CLUB MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN TODAY!

The Western Illinois University Leatherneck Club Membership Campaign for the 2013-14 academic year is underway, and the goal is to reach 1,000 members.  WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

The Leatherneck Club is an organization of fans, alumni, friends, parents, and businesses, that provide annual funding for more than 430 student-athletes competing at the NCAA Division I level. The Leatherneck Club members assist with: capital facility projects, travel expenses, broadcasting production assistance, and athletic equipment and uniforms to name a few.

An annual donation of just $50 (Purple level) gives members: invitations to special events, game program/website recognition, and a membership card for special discounts. The Gold level begins at $100, and other levels include Varsity ($250), Captain ($600), All-American ($1,000), VIP ($3,000), MVP ($5,000) and Champion ($10,000).

All donations are tax deductible, and benefits increase for each donation level. Each sport program has its own separate fundraising account, so donors can give in confidence knowing their money is going where they designate.

Contributions to the Leatherneck Club could also include: direct gifts, matching gifts, gift-in-kind donations, gift of securities, stocks, and real estate. Members can donate via electronic funds transfer or online at LEATHERNECK CLUB.
