The Blazer Club provides vital resources for our athletic program, offsetting costs and allowing the department to focus on areas of most immediate need. The overall mission of the Blazer Club is to enrich the spirit, success, and experience of all Hood College student-athletes. This is achieved through financial investment, as well as broadening programming and partnership opportunities for Hood Athletics. The Club’s efforts are directed toward growing the fan base for all Hood College athletic teams, providing financial support for Hood athletic programs, and exploring fun ways to support the student-athlete experience.
Make the biggest impact by contributing to specific teams and their needs through equipment, events, and travel for enhancing their performance on and off the field! Please note that unrestricted gifts for a team or generally to athletics will only offset the overall expenses in those areas. Pick your team, get the ‘W’!
