What is the Blackbird Club?
The Blackbird Club is a generous group of individuals who contribute annually to LIU Brooklyn’s intercollegiate athletics program. Their contributions, ranging from $100 to $2,500 or more, help underwrite the costs of scholarships for worthy student-athletes and provide funds necessary to support the new $40 million Athletic Recreation and Wellness Center and the 17-sport athletics program.
The Blackbird Club has the personal satisfaction of helping young people who excel in athletics obtain a college education. The scholarship support may make the difference between a young man or woman being able to afford the type of quality education LIU offers.
The Blackbird Club endorses members who are active participants in helping to enhance the image and spirit of the university’s overall athletics program. Through attendance at games, social events and awards banquets, they are important members of the LIU athletics family, helping to make the Blackbirds winners.
The Blackbird Club helps to uphold the great tradition of athletics success achieved by generations of male and female athletes who have worn the LIU uniform. They are supporters of the LIU Athletics Hall of Fame that honors outstanding Blackbird athletes and coaches of the past.
