The UConn Club

The UConn Club marked its fifty-seventh year of supporting student-athletes in 2010. Over the past 20 years, nearly $170 million has been generated by over 5,000 annual donors to assist UConn in providing an exceptional college experience to the young men and women who proudly wear the Husky uniform.

The official booster organization of the University's Division of Athletics, The UConn Club offers member benefits, as well as priority points used to assign seating for athletic events. Availability and location of post-season tickets are also determined by membership levels.

In furtherance of its goal to improve the overall quality of life for UConn's student-athletes, The UConn Club also hosts fundraising and social events (such as auctions, golf tournaments, and dinners), which generate much-needed scholarship funds for deserving men and women, through its Board of Directors.
