Bring the Energy: Support our Club Athletes!
From competitive travel teams to recreational favorites, Club Sports offer students a chance to lead, compete, and build community. During the 2026 Club Sports Giving Day on Thursday, November 12, 2026, your gift helps provide equipment, travel support, and resources that keep these programs thriving.
Bobcats are on the loose!
Several stuffed bobcats will be hidden across main campus during Club Sports Giving Day on Thursday, November 12. These cuddly bobcats are sponsored by generous donors who want you to decide which Club Sports team their gift will support!
Here's how it works:
1. Find a stuffed bobcat somewhere on main campus.
2. Email john.shepherd@quinnipiac.edu with:
- A photo of your bobcat
- The location where you found it
- The Club Sports team you'd like to support
3. The bobcat's sponsor will make a gift to the team you selected
4. Keep your new bobcat friend and help your favorite team thrive!
Every bobcat found means more support for Quinnipiac Club Sports. Happy hunting!

A testimonial from one of our Club Sports Advisory Council Members and former Men's Club Ice Hockey President:
"When I look at what Club Sports has become at Quinnipiac, I am incredibly proud to have played a role in laying the foundation for its continued success. Yet when I reflect on my college experience, I am even more grateful for the person those experiences helped me become.
Club Sports provided leadership opportunities and real-world experiences that extended far beyond the classroom. From leading a team and managing its finances to communicating with other universities, working with governing bodies, and advocating for fellow student-athletes, I was continually challenged to grow, adapt, and take on new responsibilities.
Those experiences instilled a strong sense of accountability, sharpened my communication skills, taught me financial stewardship, and, most importantly, showed me what it means to lead with purpose. Quinnipiac gave me the opportunity to turn a personal passion into something meaningful while equipping me with the skills and experiences that have shaped the man and professional I am today.
I will always be grateful for my time at Quinnipiac and take immense pride in knowing that the foundation we built continues to create opportunities, foster lifelong relationships, and positively impact future generations of Bobcats. The growth and success of Club Sports today is a testament to the lasting value of these programs and the students they serve."
