The UConn Club

The UConn Club is a booster organization of the University’s Division of Athletics and operates in compliance with all the rules and regulations of the NCAA. The UConn Club is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Club was founded in 1952. It is comprised of loyal and dedicated alumni, parents, and friends of the University of Connecticut who wish to express their support to the University through their particular interest in UConn Athletics. The Club’s objectives are to raise funds for UConn student-athlete scholarships and capital for athletic facilities working closely with the UConn Division of Athletics.

The UConn Club is conducting fund raising activities for the 2021-2022 academic year. These include our auctions, 50/50 Raffles, a Golf Tournament, and more.

The Board of Directors of The UConn Club works with the  University of Connecticut Husky Athletic Fund on fundraising activities.

All Husky Athletic Fund donors of $100 or more are considered members of The UConn Club.  Click here for more information.
