This ambition is possible only with the generosity of some of Purdue’s most dedicated and loyal supporters, like you. There is no better time to be a Boilermaker! Football clearly is heading in the right direction with back-to-back bowl appearances, increased fan support and a top-25 recruiting class. In what was expected to be a rebuilding year, volleyball made yet another trip to the NCAA Tournament. And men’s cross country had its best season in three decades, finishing second in the Big Ten and 29th in the country. With the Big Ten season in full swing, both basketball teams appear to be contenders, while wrestling has achieved its highest national ranking this century. Over the last couple of years, the John Purdue Club has seen tremendous growth, but we cannot stop now. The John Purdue Club is implementing a personalized customer service experience to all members (B.A.R.) – the first of its kind in the country at a school our size. As we look to grow our membership to 10,000 strong, we need your help to get there. Your investment in our student-athletes and personal referrals will be the lifeblood that drives our membership to an all-time high. The success of Purdue Athletics is a tremendous source of pride for all Boilermakers. We are prepared to succeed and believe the best days are ahead. Your support will help propel our student-athletes to the next level and allow our programs to build upon a solid foundation. Boiler Up! Mike Bobinski Vice President – Director of Intercollegiate Athletics ABOUT THE JOHN PURDUE CLUB The John Purdue Club is comprised of a diverse group of supporters. All of our members have unique stories that tie them to Purdue University, and everyone looks for a membership experience that is specific to his/her passion and needs. In the end, though, all of us are all Boilermakers! Below you will find a breakdown of our 2018 JPC membership. Additionally, on the following page, you will see how we compare with our Big Ten counterparts. Our primary goal for the near future is to exceed 10,000 members. We know we can reach that goal by having Boilermakers like you join, renew and provide us referrals today!

During the past year, John Purdue Club members have provided scholarships, world-class facilities, academic support and more to our student-athletes. STUDENT-ATHLETE SCHOLARSHIP FUND The John Purdue Club is doing all it can to help Purdue Athletics fund an annual scholarship bill exceeding $12 million. Last year, our members stepped up in a big way to raise almost $8 million. Our long-term goal is to fund the entire bill and our ambitious goal for 2019-20 is to fund over $10 million. By investing in scholarships, John Purdue Club members will help ensure that student-athletes are recruited based on their skill level and alignment with the Purdue tradition. As a result, these gifts will significantly enhance the sustainability of our programs, while helping shape the next generation of Boilermaker student-athletes. ATHLETICS DIRECTOR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Throughout the athletics department, a number of emergent and unbudgeted priorities arise each year that need to be addressed. Funds designated to this area would be used to support the areas of greatest need as determined by Mike Bobinski and other athletics senior leadership. In providing funding that can be used for facilities, leadership experiences, scholarships and more, these gifts will allow for flexibility so Purdue Athletics can provide top-notch support for all future generations of Boilermakers.
