It's About Loyalty...to the game, to the Maroon and Cream, to the leaders of tomorrow
Scot Loyalty Fund for Athletics
Continuing the Tradition


It is time to revisit the Tradition of Excellence that defines Alma College Athletics and we need your help. To give to the Scot Loyalty Fund for Athletics, visit our online giving site.

Remember football Saturdays sitting in the stands at Bahlke Field with the spire of Dunning Memorial Chapel rising proudly in the distance. While grass - and mud - might have given way to synthetic turf, Bahlke Field and the games played there remain largely unchanged. Spring baseball with students, faculty and fans cooking out and cheering down the foul lines. A home run floats over the center field fence at Scots Park as the Maroon and Cream chalk up another MIAA softball championship in the shadow of the Hogan Physical Education Center where the national championship banner proudly hangs in Cappaert Gymnasium honoring the women's basketball program.

Memories like these - and the countless others you've stored away over the years - are being made as you read this.

Return to your alma mater to watch a game and cheer from the stands instead of the sidelines; support the students and coaches who have become Scots since you left campus; give back to a program that turned teammates into friends.

Today's Alma College student-athlete stares at the names of past Scots in the history and record books and the trophies still on display in Hogan in the hopes of leaving a similar mark in Maroon and Cream.

Our goal is to enhance the experience of today's Scots, to provide them with the best facilities, equipment and experience we can - and we need the gifts of yesterday to make this goal a reality. Please make your gift to the Scot Loyalty Fund today - you can do so easily online now.

Larger than the sports you played, the wins and losses or the sweat and tears, this is about loyalty and the Tradition of Excellence.

Maroon and Cream Forever,

Larry Andrus '72, Bill Klenk '59 and Charlie Gray
Scot Loyalty Fund for Athletics Tri-Chairs
