The Champions Club
The Champions Club is the Trinity Athletics Fund’s leadership giving society, and its members ensure the financial sustainability for our 30 varsity programs.
Our Champions Club members have an immediate impact on current and future student-athletes with their annual support. Annual gifts help offset our program’s operational expenses and help keep our teams training, developing physically and mentally, and striving to become champions each year. Investment from these most loyal leadership donors allow us to remain competitive in the NESCAC and the national level.
