About the Athletics Association

The Highlander Athletics Association
Sharing the excitement of a championship team means believing in the vision and having a willingness to help to make it happen-every step of the way. Just as athletes and coaches commit persistence, enthusiasm, and hard work to being the best, so must those who share their vision. Members of the Highlander Athletics Association, a volunteer organization of alumni, fans and friends share this excitement while supporting the success of our teams. Governed by a Board of Directors, the Athletics Association was originally chartered in 1975.
Through an annual membership drive and other gift solicitation efforts, the Association raises contributions for student-athlete scholarships, athletics facilities, and operational needs. The Association is UCR's official athletic fundraising organization.
The Association is committed to:
Championship-caliber athletics teams on the conference, regional and national level.
Academic achievement and fulfilled athletic potential.
A membership experience involving close interaction with coaches, administrators, staff and student-athletes.
