Giving to Carthage

Carthage Athletic Booster Club

Since 1895, Carthage has competed in intercollegiate athletics. While more than a century has passed, our goals remain the same: to win athletic contests and championships, and to teach the values and leadership skills that are essential in athletic competition and in life after Carthage.

Thousands of Carthage students have enhanced their education through athletic competition. Presently, more than 700 students participate among 24 different sports teams.

The College is committed to nurturing each student's mind, body and spirit. Members of the Carthage Athletic Booster Club, originally called the C-Club, have contributed millions of dollars in recent years to help maintain this philosophy.

Your membership donation will help us continue our tradition of athletic and academic excellence and support a new generation of proud Red Men and Lady Reds.

Thank you for your generosity,

Robert Bonn, Ed.D.
