CLEVELAND, The Truett McConnell University Athletic Department has announced the addition of the TMU Bear Club;
“I am very excited to announce the creation of the TMU Bear Club,” Athletic Director Jenni Shepard said. “This is something that I have wanted for a while, so I am very happy to see it come to fruition. The purpose of this club is to help raise funds for our athletic programs while helping to create a wider fan base with fun incentives for our loyal supporters. The funds from this club will be used for a variety of things from providing scholarships for student-athletes to helping fund facility improvements such as our new cycling program’s mountain biking course, to eventually lighting our outdoor athletic facilities and for special events such as our annual TMU Athletic Awards night, Back to School Bash, and Hall of Fame Induction Dinner, among other exciting special projects.
As we have continued to grow our sixteen NAIA athletic programs, it has taken time to develop a strong fan base but with the addition of this club we will be able to continue to grow our fan base while improving all facets of our athletic experience. We truly have some amazing fans and we are very grateful for our supporters, so this club was the next step for us in continuing to take our athletic programs to the next level.”
Memberships into the club will run from July 1-June 30 of each academic year, however anyone who joins the club between now and July 1 will receive the incentives for the remainder of the 2018-19 seasons and all of 2019-20.
