| Updates from the Chiefs Club: August 26, 2019 |
Read more about this very special challenge and goal for OUR Catawba Chiefs Club.
Here we go again: Catawba Chiefs Club 2019-2020! For the past two years, OUR Chiefs Club membership has been over 500 members. This year, our goal is to have over 750 Chiefs Club members. We need the support from our past Chiefs Club members, as well as our former student-athletes.
We also have a Chiefs Club Challenge from our Catawba Board of Trustees Chair Bill Graham, who is also a former student-athlete at Catawba College.
From Bill Graham: In an effort to support and help the Chief's Club grow, I will contribute $100 (unrestricted) for every new Chief's Club member added from now until September 10th, 2019 in order to get to 600 members. After the 600 number has been reached, I will contribute $200 to the Chief's Club for every new member thereafter and $300 for each member over the 750 membership number. This offer expires October 1st, 2019. A new member is defined as anyone that has not been a Chiefs Club member for at least one year.
Our Chiefs Club membership is growing. Forward this email to anyone you think would be interested in helping support OUR Catawba Chiefs Club.
Over 525 current Catawba student-athletes, 23 varsity teams, two JV teams, 117 athletic scholarships, a weekly Chiefs Club newsletter, and your gift to the Catawba Chiefs Club is tax-deductible. The funds raised by the Catawba Chiefs Club help support the 117 athletic scholarships that Catawba College offers.

Johnson Tennis Center had some major humps develop on courts #1 and #2 over the summer, rendering them now unplayable. A scan was done and core samples taken this week to try to determine the cause of problem.

In Remembrance...
C.A. Suther, long-time supporter of Catawba Athletics and The Catawba Chiefs Club, died over the summer. C.A. spent a lot of time helping the Catawba Football, Baseball, and Basketball coaches recruit players to Catawba and always wore his Catawba baseball hat with pride. He attended all home games and most away games. He also established the C.A. Suther Coaches Award for the Catawba Athletic Department. |
 
The Catawba Chiefs Club Room in the Abernathy Physical Education Center: We have all our team pictures from the past four years on display. Each year, we add the current team photo for each team and take down the one from five years ago. The seniors always have their team pictures from the past four years on display. We have now added the 25th Anniversary Catawba Football Golf Classic flag to our collection. Thanks to Bill Hall and Bob Setzer for putting this special event on each year.
