A quality athletic program does not just happen. In addition to very talented student-athletes, it takes outstanding coaches, a capable staff and many devoted alumni, parents, and friends whose financial contributions sustain Boston University's rich athletic tradition.

Terrier Pride is the philanthropic arm of BU Athletics dedicated to supporting excellence in athletics, academics, and community. As an umbrella organization, Terrier Pride provides the opportunity for alumni, parents, students, friends and the entire BU community to support BU's varsity and club student-athletes through annual donations directly to a team's friends fund, through endowed operating funds, and through named athletic scholarships.

Boston University's student-athletes dedicate themselves to representing the BU community through their success. Every gift helps provide additional opportunities for the deserving young men and women to achieve their fullest potential in competition, in the classroom, and in the community. Together we can provide the necessary tools to maintain a competitive athletic and academic program and ensure that Boston University remains a great source of pride for our students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends for years to come. To learn more about how you can invest in BU's student-athletes and the future of Boston University Athletics, please contact Terrier Pride at (617) 353-3008 or terrierpride@bu.edu.
