Support Our Lions Through the Lions Athletic Club

Lions Athletic Club

Invest in Lions. Transform Lives.

Mars Hill University student-athletes carry the blue and gold with pride wherever they compete. They are more than athletes. They are students, leaders, teammates, and ambassadors who represent the university with character and determination.

While pursuing their degrees, MHU student-athletes dedicate countless hours to training, competition, service, and academic success. For many, scholarship support makes this experience, and a Mars Hill education, possible.

Your Support Makes Their Success Possible

The Lions Athletic Club supports Mars Hill University Athletics. Through the generosity of alumni, parents, fans, businesses, and friends, the club provides essential support for our student-athletes.

Gifts to the Lions Athletic Club help provide:

  • Scholarships that make a Mars Hill education attainable
  • Resources that help teams train, travel, and compete
  • Improvements to athletic facilities
  • Essential equipment and operational support
  • A stronger experience for student-athletes, students, and fans

Donors may direct their gifts to a specific team, athletics project, or scholarship fund. One hundred percent of every Lions Athletic Club gift supports Mars Hill University Athletics.

Every gift matters. Together, gifts of all sizes provide our student-athletes with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed in competition, in the classroom, and beyond graduation.

Be Part of Their Story

“As a student-athlete at Mars Hill, I always felt like people were invested in the person I was becoming, not just as a soccer player, but as a leader and as a person. The support I received from the coaches and the alumni from the team gave me opportunities to grow beyond the field, and those experiences have shaped me and given me a strong foundation for life after college.” –Braxton Robinson ’25
