Eckerd College's more than 230 student-athletes are expected to have winning performances both in the classroom and on the fields and courts. You are invited to help them reach their full potential by joining the Teal and Steel Society, an elite group of donors and fans dedicated to enriching the student-athlete experience through community support and fundraising.
Teal and Steel membership dollars provide athletic scholarships and support special projects and athletics operations. Any size gift is gratefully accepted, but Teal and Steel giving levels have been developed to satisfy the desire of fans to participate in Triton Athletics through benefits awarded to contributing members. A portion of your gift is tax deductible.
At Eckerd, we are committed to excellence in creating and maintaining athletic programs and experiences that will contribute positively to the total development of our students. Our programs encourage students to mature mentally, physically and spiritually through discipline, dedication and intense competition.
