Join The Chiefs Club Today
 
As of today, our Catawba Chiefs Club membership is at 590 which includes 190 new members. This puts us right at 165 members ahead of where we were at the same time last year.
Dear Current Chiefs Club membership,
Watch a video message from current Catawba Chiefs Club Board member, Trent Bradshaw.
If each of our current Chiefs Club members could help us find a few more people willing to join and help support our Catawba Chiefs Club, we would reach our goal of 750 members. Ask a friend who could come with you to our Catawba home games, ask a former Catawba classmate, ask a former teammate to join. What a good reason to help get back in touch with a few people who would join OUR Catawba Chiefs Club if you asked them to!
Consider asking someone you know who owns a local business to consider joining. Our business listing is growing just like our Chiefs Club membership, and those businesses are getting a lot of exposure each Monday with our growing Chiefs Club membership e-newsletter.
We also need the support from our former Catawba student-athletes to meet this goal and our overall goal to have over 750 members in OUR Catawba Chiefs Club. If you are a former Catawba student-athlete, ask some of your teammates to join. They can help support the same athletic scholarships they received while playing on a team at Catawba.
Memberships start as low as only $100. Your gift is tax-deductible and will also place you on our weekly Chiefs Club e-newsletter mailing that goes out each Monday. The funds we raise with our Catawba Chiefs Club goes back to help support our athletic teams.
It would really help our efforts if you forwarded this message to anyone you think would consider joining and helping us get one step closer to OUR goal of 750 members.
Homecoming is October 25-27! View the schedule and information at www.catawba.edu/homecoming.

The Salisbury Dairy Queen just helped us get one step closer to our 750 Chiefs Club membership goal of 750 members. This business has been a landmark in Salisbury for a very long time. When you are driving through Salisbury, stop by and visit one of our most recent Chiefs Club members.
 
Thanks to former Catawba Soccer player, Bradley Wylde, who helped us get one step closer to our goal of 750 members. Bradley is now the Executive Director of the Charlotte Soccer Academy.
