About Us
Who We Are
The Panther Club is the official fundraising arm for the University of Pittsburgh Department of Athletics.
The Panther Club has helped support Pitt student-athletes and athletic programs thanks to the passion and dedicated support of our generous members. Our mission is to facilitate the philanthropic goals and passions of our loyal alumni, parents and fans, and build bridges to connect our donors to the proud traditions of Pitt Athletics. We are dedicated to providing our student-athletes with the resources necessary to achieve comprehensive excellence.
In the rapidly changing landscape of Division I athletics, we will become leaders in growing and sustaining philanthropic support, and be in constant pursuit of innovative ideas to enhance the student-athlete experience.
NCAA Booster Compliance
Your membership in the Panther Club also makes you a booster, or what the NCAA refers to as a "representative of the institution's athletics interests." As a Booster for the University of Pittsburgh Athletics Department, please know that Pitt is responsible for the actions of its boosters. Violations of NCAA rules involving boosters, alumni, or fans of Pitt can have a negative effect on the relevant prospects and/or student-athletes, Pitt's athletic program, and the national perception of the University. In addition, student-athletes or prospects may lose their eligibility for intercollegiate competition.
Further, a booster that intentionally violates NCAA, ACC, or Pitt rules may be disassociated from Pitt's athletics program, resulting in the revocation or withholding of any athletically related benefit or privilege received by that individual from Pitt. Additionally, once a person, agency, business, or other organization is identified as a booster, that entity retains the title forever.
