The Chippewa Athletic Fund (CAF) has launched its 2024 Membership Drive, starting today. The drive, which will run until June 26, aims to support Central Michigan University (CMU) student-athletes in their athletic and academic endeavors.

Amy Folan, the Zyzelewski Family Associate Vice President/Director of Athletics, emphasized the importance of contributions from CAF members. "Your support has an immediate impact on our student-athletes," she stated. "Your gift will provide the opportunity for a first-class experience and the ability to compete for championships in the MAC."

CAF members have various options for contributing directly to CMU's athletic programs. A contribution of at least $500 allows members to become Champions of any program except football, offering benefits such as name recognition and event invitations. For those interested in supporting CMU football specifically, eligibility into the 1100 Club requires a $1,500 annual gift.

The 1896 Society honors commitments of $25,000 or more over five years, providing exclusive benefits in recognition of significant support.

In addition to membership opportunities, CMU Athletics has transitioned to a new ticketing platform with Paciolan. This change allows fans to renew or purchase season tickets efficiently. Premium seating options are available with associated donation requirements.
