Athletics

With 1,896 minutes to give – in honor of Adelphi’s establishment year of 1896, we are looking for your support. The money raised on this day impacts each of our teams in its own way, ultimately enhancing the Adelphi student-athlete experience. Programs are able to use the fundraised dollars as a means to supplement its operating budget, which could be in the form of providing more team-branded gear; higher quality training equipment; or even taking additional trips to play competitions outside of our region. 

Our Division II program is highly recognized across the board and with your help, we can continue to maintain and elevate our excellence both in the respective fields of play and in the classroom. 

Alumni, family, friends, and fans are encouraged to make a donation of any amount to support Adelphi’s over 400 student-athletes.

Gifts can be earmarked to any of the varsity sports programs in Garden City, with special challenges/matches associated with some teams. Can't choose a team and want to support the department as a whole? We invite you to make a gift to the Panther Club. 

The Panther Club is Adelphi University's official organization dedicated to the support of the athletics department. It is an avenue for Adelphi alumni, parents, and friends to support our student-athletes on the fields of play, in the community and in the classroom. 

Currently we are thrilled to promote our current match challenge, put forward by Dennis McDonagh '78. He is challenging Adelphi to support our student-athletes. If Athletics raises $75,000, it will unlock $75,000 to fund a refueling station so Panthers can perform at the highest levels. All gifts to the Panther Club and individual teams count toward this challenge.
