DURANGO, Colorado — The Fort Lewis College Athletic Department is excited to announce the launch of the Skyhawks Club and its participation in Giving Tuesday, a national day of giving scheduled for this Tuesday, December 3.

The Skyhawks Club, which launched a new official website (skyhawksclub.org) on Wednesday, November 27, is the fundraising arm of Fort Lewis College Athletics, providing support to our 350 student-athletes on campus.

Donors are now able to access the Skyhawks Club online and have a multitude of giving options. Gifts can be made directly to specific programs based on donor intent, to the general fund benefiting all 350 student-athletes, or to FLC's capital campaigns to improve facilities.

Created in 2012 as a simple way to encourage people to do good, Giving Tuesday is a global generosity giving movement which helps others through the gift of time or donations.  Observed on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and recognized with Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, which includes holiday and year-end giving. 

Skyhawks Athletics encourages all Skyhawks Club members, fans and alumni to make a gift on Giving Tuesday to help enhance the academic and athletic success for all FLC student-athletes.

By securing philanthropic funding for facilities, scholarships, and safeguarding the physical and mental wellness of our student-athletes, the Skyhawks Club ensures that our student-athletes have the necessary resources for success in the classroom, during competition and for a lifetime of achievement beyond collegiate athletics.
