New to the 2015-16 Eagle Fund, the Champion Society is an exclusive group comprised of members who support Georgia Southern University Athletics, Foundation, and most importantly, student-athletes. Inaugural members Matt and Linda Hube, Doug Lambert, Billy Hickman, and Anthony Tippins collectively agree on one thing: student-athlete's academic success is vital. Therefore, they've committed to give $50,000 to the Foundation's annual fund.
As Eagle Nation continues to rise to higher sporting levels, so does the cost of providing a first-class education for our athletes. By donating to the annual fund, the Champion Society is helping over 386 student-athletes who play in one of the 17 Division I varsity sport programs by providing academic scholarships.
