CHARLESTON, S.C. – Charleston Southern athletics has formed a partnership with Graduway to provide a way for Buccaneers donors, alumni and fans to support individual sports programs or the athletics department as a whole. Gifts may be given in any amount directly to the sport of your choice or to the Buc Club. No gift is too small.

"Graduway delivers the control you need – a fully customized website for an exclusive virtual network that's always on-brand, translated and localized to Bucs Nation," associate athletics director for development Mike Smith said. "The tools Graduway provides us here at Charleston Southern University Athletics to reach our donors make it easy to manage for those choosing to give to Buccaneer Athletics."

For example, football has formed The Grand 100 in its pursuit of raising $100,000 annually to support its ministry. The idea is for $100 to be given through 1,000 loyalists each year, helping to set the standard for their student-athletes to dominate both on and off the field. Donations will be applied to extra nutrition, pre and post workouts; player gear; recruiting; equipment needs; technology and facility upgrades as well as other avenues that help build a championship-level football ministry.

The Bullpen Club is the direct financial support of the Buccaneers baseball program. Those are just two examples of more than 15 different ways in which your donations can be applied.

Direct support of the Buc Club, which will help the athletics department build and maintain type of Division I program this great University deserves, will help develop our student-athletes spiritually, academically, athletically and socially.
