"Why pay?” and “Where does my money actually go?"
Where Your Dues Go
Here’s the answer:
Fund student Athlete programs and
experiences
Support events, celebrations, and services that enhance the studentathlete experience across all 42 varsity sports—not just a single team.
Support community building and
alumni events
Underwrite the cost of bringing Harvard athletes together across sports and generations—regional events, pregame tailgates, Senior Letterwinners’ Dinner, Hall of Fame, golf tournaments, and more.
Maintain and improve alumni tools and resources
Help us manage and grow the alumni networking database and other digital resources that allow Harvard athletes to find and connect with each other.
Amplify Alumni Achievements for the Harvard Athletics community
Make it possible to share updates on teams and coaches, and highlight alumni accomplishments—from first jobs and startups to pro sports achievements and executive roles.
Sustain an independent 501(c)(3) dedicated to Harvard athletes
Because the Varsity Club is an independent nonprofit, your dues directly support the infrastructure that exist solely to serve past, present, and future Harvard athletes.
