Central Michigan University Athletics
Membership Drive Begins for Chippewa Athletic Fund

The Chippewa Athletic Fund membership drive is officially underway and will continue through June 1, 2016. Last year over 2,270 donors came together to raise over $1.4 million in annual support for Central Michigan University Athletics. This support helped Chippewa student-athletes continue to perform at a championship level both in the classroom and on the field.
In 2015, our student-athletes were recognized by receiving three of the highest honors available from the Mid-American Conference: the Reese Trophy which exemplifies the top men's athletic program for the 2014-2015 academic year, the Institutional Sportsmanship Award and last, but not least, the Cartwright Award, a unique award recognizing excellence not only on the field of play, but also in the classroom and in the community.
Academically, Chippewa student-athletes have maintained above a 3.0 cumulative GPA for the past 18 years. Currently, 256 student-athletes (63%) have a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher. During the 2014-15 academic year, 97 student-athletes were named to Academic All-MAC teams.
It is with your support that CMU Athletics is able to continue this success both on the field and in the classroom. Every dollar contributed positively impacts the lives of Chippewa student-athletes. In order to progress in our common vision of a Championship Culture, our goal this year is to raise $1.6 million. This will be achieved through increased communication and fresh and exciting donor engagement. For our longtime CAF members, we hope you will renew your support, or consider an increase in your contribution to CMU Athletics.
We also hope that you will spread the word about why the CAF is so vital to the success of Chippewa Athletics.If you are not a CAF member, please consider making a gift that will have an immediate and positive impact on the lives of our student-athletes.
