Athletic Departments across the country are facing a critical financial challenge, but we remain committed to our mission of supporting the university's purpose by providing exceptional educational and athletic experiences for all student-athletes...The Butler Way.
 
Butler Athletics is establishing the Bulldog Forever Initiative to offset a potential multi-million dollar budget shortfall in the 2020-21 academic year. The goal of this fund is to help the athletic department navigate the financial ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic and position the department for future success.
 
Contributions made to the Bulldog Club Unrestricted Fund in support of the Bulldog Forever Initiative will help the department further minimize job elimination, furloughs, reductions in sports budgets, and possibly sport elimination. Our coaches and student-athletes continue to push forward although some of their seasons have been canceled and futures are unknown at this time. Games or no games, with or without fans, we are fully committed to supporting our more than 500 student-athletes.
 
Those who support the Bulldog Forever Initiative will receive double priority points toward men's basketball season tickets. Gifts made to the Bulldog Club Fund for priority points prior to this initiative dating back to June 1, 2020, will also receive double priority points.
 
With your support, gifts will be accepted to this initiative through the end of the current fiscal year, which concludes May 31, 2021. We are doing everything in our power to make a major impact as we look to defeat the effect of COVID-19.
