GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) Spartan Club is introducing the
Shield Our Future campaign to support Spartan student-athletes during these challenging times.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to place significant financial stress on intercollegiate athletics nationwide and this campaign will help offset the reduced revenue which is estimated at two to three million dollars. This impact represents 16-24% of athletics overall budget.
Now, more than ever, the support of UNCG Athletics through the Spartan Club is crucial to providing a championship experience for our student-athletes. Donors to
Shield Our Future will receive triple priority points for their gift through June 30, 2021. We will celebrate our success by hosting an exclusive event when it is safe to gather.
CDC, state of North Carolina and Guilford County mandates restrict attendance at athletic events so we do not anticipate general public sales in 2020-21. UNCG Athletics is asking men's and women's basketball season ticket holders to consider supporting
Shield Our Future by donating season ticket balances to the campaign.
Season ticket holders have two other options: Credit the 20-21 season ticket balance toward a 21-22 season ticket purchase (includes home games with Elon, North Carolina A&T and Vermont) or request a refund.
Submit your choice
here.
Should capacity restrictions be lifted, UNCG Athletics will prioritize student-athlete families, UNCG students, and 20-21 season ticket holders who donate or roll over their 20-21 balance.
The last eight months have created unprecedented challenges for each of us. Our top priority is to provide transformative experiences for our student-athletes. We know that Spartan fans will rise to the challenge and
Shield Our Future.
Note: December 8 is Giving Tuesday and
Shield Our Future is the focus.
