About

Bobcat Club Video


The heart behind Lees-McRae's NCAA Division II teams and nationally-ranked Club Teams

Through the Bobcat Club, donors strengthen the entire Lees-McRae athletics experience: supporting the facilities, equipment, travel, and program resources that allow Bobcat athletes to train, compete, and succeed.

Bobcat student-athletes represent discipline, resilience, and pride — competing at the highest level while succeeding in the classroom. Our NCAA DII teams give us plenty to be proud of — as do our nationally recognized team sports. These students are excpetional athletes and scholars!

Support from the Bobcat Club helps ensure our athletes have access to the tools and resources they need — from modern training facilities to safe and reliable travel that allows teams to compete at the highest levels across the country.

Recent investments have strengthened facilities like the Athletics Complex and enhanced training and competition environments across multiple programs.

When you Give Big to the Bobcat Club, you help:

  • Support athletic opportunities for more than half of the Lees-McRae student body
  • Outfit Bobcat teams so they are organized, competitive, and ready for game day
  • Improve team travel safety and access for regional and national competition
  • Elevate the national reputation of Lees-McRae College

Bobcat pride shows up everywhere — in the classroom, on the field, and across campus. Together, we continue raising the standard for every athlete who wears the green and gold.
