What is the purpose The Blue Coat Club?
The purpose of The Blue Coat Club is to enhance the athletic programs at Great Lakes Christian College by providing quality equipment, updated facilities, and to increase opportunities for our students to use athletics as a platform for ministry.
Why Support The Blue Coat Club?
Being a member of The Blue Coat Club provides the opportunity to invest in something far greater than athletics. Our goal is to enhance the collegiate experience by providing opportunities that encourage our students to pursue excellence in all aspects of life including awareness of their responsibility to honor the Lord, their teammates, and the greater campus community.
Pledges
The Crusader Club works on a pledge system. This means that a member can make a pledge and then pay installments, completing it by the end of the current fiscal year (June 30). Pledge reminders can be mailed throughout the year; simply check the appropriate boxes on your pledge cards for the months you would like to be sent a reminder. All Crusaders Club members will receive a pledge reminder in late May if a balance still remains.
Cash/Check Donations
Contributions via cash or check are always an option! Checks can be made payable to Great Lakes Christian College Athletics. A receipt will be issued for all cash donations.
Matching Gifts
Many companies will match your gift(s) to Great Lakes Christian College Athletics. Please connect with the Human Resources department at your place of employment to inquire about their matching gift program. This is a great way to double or even triple the value of your gift to our Crusaders! Some organizations choose not to match gifts directed to athletics, so please be sure to clarify.
