Trojan Blue and Gold
Dakota State University Creating Champions Blue & Gold Athletic Club 2000-2001
Dear Alumni, Parents, and Friends of DSU Athletics!
As the new Dakota State University Athletic Director, I am very excited to become a part of the DSU Athletic Program. I am committed to making Dakota State University Athletics one of the best in the nation. At this time, I would also like to invite you to renew your membership or become a new member of the Blue and Gold Athletic Club (the Dakota State University Booster organization).
All the money that is donated to the Blue and Gold Club is devoted entirely to the development of the athletic programs! There are many benefits in becoming a Blue and Gold Athletic Club member, but none as important as helping Dakota State University students reach their potential as scholars, athletes and leaders in the future. You can help insure that this tradition continues by joining the Blue and Gold Athletic Club at one of the levels described in this brochure.
All your contributions are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt from the DSU Foundation.
Thank you for your continued support of Dakota State University Athletics.
Yours In Athletics,
Tom Gioglio, Ed.D.
Why should I support DSU Athletics?
The athletic programs at Dakota State benefit the entire university.
Whether in conference or NAIA competition, athletes demonstrate the
Dakota State University commitment to high quality in both academics and
athletics. The outstanding young men and women student athletes who participate
each year in athletics at Dakota State University are building important
physical and life skills and at the same time gaining a superior college
education.
Join the Blue & Gold Athletic Club
The Dakota State University Blue and Gold Athletic Club, founded in 1990, has
the primary purpose of generating donation-related money for the DSU athletic
scholarship program. As a member of the Blue and Gold Athletic Club, you can
have the satisfaction and feel actively involved in the education of our
student-athletes through the funding of scholarships. You can share the
distinction of being responsible for the continuing success of the Dakota State
University athletic program, known nationally for excellence in athletic and
academic achievements.
What is the history & purpose of the Blue & Gold Athletic Club?
The Blue and Gold Athletic Club was founded in June 1990 to assist Dakota State
University in strengthening the Trojan and Lady T’s athletic programs. The
Blue and Gold Athletic Club is the largest annual fund raising program for men’s
and women’s intercollegiate athletics at Dakota State University. It plays a
vital role in meeting the challenges of a strong conference, increasing
competitive programs, and the rising cost for recruiting and other program
needs.
Operating funds for the athletic program are provided by the institution. However, no such funding is available for athletic extras that spell excellence. These needs must be met through private contributions such as the Blue and Gold Athletic Club.
