The Butler Way Society<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Butler Way Society honors donors who have demonstrated their significant long-term commitment to Butler Athletics through commitments of $75,000 or more, fulfilled within a five-year span. The philanthropic giving society derives its name from The Butler Way, which represents the rich history, values, and tradition of excellence for Butler University and Butler Athletics. Bulldog student-athletes proudly embody The Butler Way as they train, compete, and represent Butler on a national stage. Though intercollegiate athletics is evolving rapidly, the values that have always guided Butler Athletics will remain unchanged. The Butler Way Society, therefore, honors those donors whose gifts will sustain The Butler Way in a new era of intercollegiate athletics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While The Butler Way Society is philanthropic in nature, members enjoy unique stewardship opportunities, and their benefits expand accordingly as commitment levels increase. Leadership commitment levels within The Butler Way Society structure include $75,000, $125,000, $250,000, $500,000, and beyond. Stewardship benefits include opportunities such as Wildman Room access during Butler Men’s Basketball games, pre-game presidential receptions, and reserved Hinkle Fieldhouse parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
