the team behind the teams

The original Panther Club was introduced in the fall of 2016 with the aim of raising additional funds for the general athletics fund. Nearly 10 years later, we are excited to relaunch the Panther Club with a new look and a new structure that will recognize more annual athletics donors. 

Like the original, the new Panther Club helps provide an exceptional athletic and educational experience for Hanover College's student-athletes. While donations to the general athletics fund remain critical to our continued success, the Panther Club now serves as the umbrella for all annual giving to athletics, including the general athletics gift fund, individual sports, corporate sponsorships, and the John R. Smith Golf Outing. Annual giving is the most important way to provide the financial foundation necessary to sustain the championship spirit and culture that our student-athletes, coaches, and fans expect and deserve.

Ready to join? Please note the following:

• Donors who make an annual gift of $100 or more to Hanover College Athletics will be recognized as members of the Panther Club.
• Graduates of the last decade who make a monthly gift of $5 or more to Hanover College Athletics will be recognized as members of the Panther Club.
• Panther Club recognition is based on our fiscal year, which runs from July 1 through June 30.

We are grateful for the alumni, parents, employees, and friends who partner with us and truly stand as the team behind our teams. Thank you!
