Phoenix Sports

Phoenix Fund
The Phoenix Fund provides support for approximately 250 student-athletes competing in Green Bay Athletics' 16 NCAA Division I varsity sports. With scholarship costs continually on the rise, the athletic department depends on the support of alumni, friends of the program and corporations to maintain the high level of competition.

As a donor to the Phoenix Fund, you are contributing to the success of UW-Green Bay student-athletes in the classroom and in athletic competition.

The 2007-08 Phoenix Fund annual fund drive has raised nearly $390,000 to date. Over 100 Phoenix Fund board members, community friends and staff members help us renew memberships and recruit new members each year. Our academic year ends June 30, so we are still in pursuit of our $415,000 goal. Please help us attain our goal and join the current 800 Phoenix Fund members who support our program.

We welcome members all throughout the year, so please consider joining the Phoenix Fund today.

Joining the Phoenix Fund is an excellent opportunity to network with over 800 businesses, individuals and community members who support our NCAA Division I athletics program. Phoenix Fund membership listings are published in various university publications that are annually distributed to over 20,000 organizations, alumni and friends of Green Bay Athletics.

There are many benefits that you receive when you join the Phoenix Fund. They can include priority parking, invitations to upcoming members-only events, and a subscription to Ascend, a quarterly newsletter that updates you with the latest information regarding Green Bay Athletics. The most important benefit you will receive is the satisfaction that you are providing the opportunity for UW-Green Bay student-athletes to achieve at the highest level both academically and athletically.

Another fund raiser recently completed was the Phoenix Home Build project II. A team fund raising project headed up by Van's Lumber and Custom Home Builders and supported by 25 subcontractors raised $20,000 for student-athlete scholarships.

On behalf of Green Bay Athletics and its student-athletes, coaches and staff, we thank you for your decision to support the Phoenix through your contributions.

The 2008 Phoenix-Packers Steak Fry held on April 22 in the Legends Room of the Lambeau Atrium was a huge success. The event welcomed more than 630 guests and raised $71,000 for UW-Green Bay student-athlete scholarships! Thank you to all our guests who attended.
