You can support Georgia State Athletics as a whole by donating annually to Panther Athletic Club. You can also support specific areas of the program by giving directly to those restricted funds. Thank you for your support of Georgia State Athletics!
Panther Athletic Club
The Panther Athletic Club (PAC Fund) is the primary unrestricted fund of Georgia State Athletics. Annual donations made to PAC help provide our student-athletes with a championship experience in the classroom and in competition through scholarship, facility enhancement and programmatic support. Any charitable gift made over the course of the calendar year (Jan. - Dec.) to Panther Athletic Club qualifies you to become a member for that year. Becoming a member of the Panther Athletic Club supports student-athletes and also qualifies you for exclusive tangible benefits.
Sport Specific and Restricted Giving
While unrestricted, annual support of Panther Athletic Club is important to sustaining the full program, you can also support specific areas by giving directly to those funds. Each sport has its own fund to which you can make a tax-deductible contribution. Donate now >>
