COLUMBUS - The Columbus State University Athletics Department is officially beginning its 2020-21 Cougar Club campaign. 

By becoming a member of the Cougar Club, you will directly impact the lives of over 258-plus student-athletes. From buying critical unbudgeted items to fundraising scholarships, your aid will significantly improve the college experience of our student-athletes. 

Not only is the Cougar Club vital to our teams' successes on the field and the court, but it also provides tools and resources to our student-athletes to achieve the ultimate goal: graduation. By supporting our student-athletes, you are cultivating our community's next generation of employees, leaders, spouses and parents.

Like all aspects of life, Columbus State Athletics has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, however, we are committed to making the necessary adjustments to provide first-class support to our student-athletes. Your aid will make all the difference in achieving this objective. 

A 501(c) nonprofit, all Cougar Club gifts are 100% tax-deductible and all donors have the option of designating the gift to a specific team/program.

The Cougar Club, also known as the CSU Athletic Foundation, was established in 1969 with the commitment to benefit Cougar student-athletes. Its purpose is to endorse and encourage a continuing awareness in, and loyalty to, the intercollegiate athletics programs at Columbus State. It supports the staff and their efforts to coordinate, develop, maintain and improve a superior athletic program. Our donors are considered members of the Cougar Club, former student-athletes, friends, alumni, and advocates of the university, and recognize the value of intercollegiate athletics and enthusiastically participate in a variety of ways.
