Purple & Gold Club
Purple & Gold Club funding goal for the 2026-27 academic year: $150,000
The Purple & Gold Club is the primary support group for the Whittier College Athletics Department. Through its dedicated fundraising efforts, the Purple & Gold Club serves as a valuable resource for special athletic needs. These needs include travel expenses for out-of-state tournaments, training equipment, facility improvements, athletic footwear, awards, and other items to enhance the men's and women's programs.
Annual contributions help support all 19 intercollegiate athletic teams, involving 45% of the students at Whittier.
In addition to fundraising, the Purple & Gold Club is also active in the lives of Poet student-athletes through sponsorships of annual events such as the men's and women's basketball classic, the All-Sports Awards Banquet, the Purple & Gold Golf Tournament, and the Hall of Fame Induction Dinner.
