Blitz Drive receives pledges for more than $69,000

Raising money for Tiger Booster Club Scholarships and to support Cowley College athletic programs, Cowley College coaches, employees, and members of the community took to the streets for the school's annual Blitz Drive on Tuesday, August 8, and eclipsed $69,000 in pledges with additional funds still trickling in. The Tiger Booster Club is optimistic about surpassing $80,000 in donations.

According to Cowley College athletic director Jeff Fluty, the Tiger Athletic Department plans to reach out over the next few weeks to individuals they could not connect with on Tuesday.

During the past year, Tiger athletic teams combined for 12 national tournament appearances. In addition, several Tiger athletes were named to the 2022-2023 All-Academic teams.

The Tiger Booster Club has seven levels of membership that range from $150 to $5,000. TBC members are admitted free to all Tiger sporting events. Anyone interested in becoming a Tiger Booster Club member can contact the Cowley Athletic Department at 620-441-5268.

"The Tiger Blitz Drive, in conjunction with Tiger Booster Club, has been an outstanding yearly opportunity for our entire athletic department to connect with communities and residents of Cowley County and beyond," Cowley College athletic director Jeff Fluty said. "The support our student-athletes receive during this event is directed toward scholarship needs. This is truly a game-changer and very much appreciated. Our boosters are a generous, supportive group of individuals and businesses that care about the success of Cowley College athletics in the classroom and the field of play. Thank you all for your continued contributions and love for Cowley College athletics."
