Welcome to the latest edition of the “C-Club Connection,” a periodic update available on the C-Club Web site as well as via e-mail through the C-Club Athletics Newsletter to keep you informed of C-Club initiatives, Hall of Fame activities, special projects and Board meeting summaries throughout the year.
Here are some recent C-Club items:
HALL OF FAME WEEKEND
The 2009 C-Club Hall of Fame inductions will take place on Saturday, Oct. 31. This will be preceded by the Classic Teams Reunion on Friday night as we honor Dr. Jack Daniels’ seven NCAA Division III championship women’s cross country teams (1989, 90, 92, 93, 94, 95, 97). Saturday events will also include an Alumni 4K and 1-mile Fun Run, an alumni cross country brunch, and the introduction of the newest Hall of Fame inductees at halftime of the Cortland vs. College of New Jersey football game.

C-CLUB ENDOWMENT
The C-Club Endowment is continuing to receive commitments from its members to be "Hall of Champions" donors with contributions of $5,000 or more over a five-year period.
All those contributing at that level will have their names listed in the Hall of Fame Banquet program as well as the C-Club Athletics Awards Ceremony program. That ceremony is held in May with more than 500 student-athletes in attendance along with coaches and C-Club members. In addition, the names will be featured on a plaque in the Hall of Champions, opposite the Hall of Fame Wall in the Park Center.
The C-Club solicitation letters for 2009-10 will be sent in January. However, monetary gift donations may be made at any time. Any size contribution is appreciated. Thanks for supporting SUNY Cortland Athletics.
Learn more about how you can champion this vision and leave a legacy for future generations of student-athletes through gift planning by contacting Peter VanderWoude, Manager of Planned Gifts at (607) 758-5309 or
