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

The\u00a0Butler\u00a0Way\u00a0Society\u00a0honors donors who have demonstrated their significant long-term commitment to\u00a0Butler\u00a0Athletics through commitments of $75,000 or more, fulfilled within a five-year span. The philanthropic giving\u00a0society\u00a0derives its name from The\u00a0Butler\u00a0Way, which represents the rich history, values, and tradition of excellence for\u00a0Butler\u00a0University and\u00a0Butler\u00a0Athletics. Bulldog student-athletes proudly embody The\u00a0Butler\u00a0Way\u00a0as they train, compete, and represent\u00a0Butler\u00a0on a national stage. Though intercollegiate athletics is evolving rapidly, the values that have always guided\u00a0Butler\u00a0Athletics 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

For more information about joining The Butler Way Society, contact the Bulldog Club at bulldogclub@butler.edu<\/a> or 317-940-9468.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
