Mission Statement of B Club
The Bellarmine University B Club, in partnership with the Knights Athletics Association, honors the legacy of our student-athlete alumni while celebrating the continued success of the current Knights' athletic programs. We are dedicated to fostering a
strong and supportive alumni community, connecting past and present athletes, and providing a network for ongoing personal and professional growth opportunities. Through shared history, pride, and friendship, we will inspire future generations of
Bellarmine student-athletes while maintaining a lasting connection to the University.
FAQs
How do I become a member of the B Club?
All student-athlete alumni are included as members of the B Club automatically upon graduating from Bellarmine University.
Is the B Club different from the Knights Athletics Association?
Yes. The B Club serves as a way for student-athlete alumni to continue the sentiment of being an integral part of Bellarmine University after they graduate. The
Knights Athletics Association is the giving group of individuals who are donors to Bellarmine Athletics through the KAA fund and/or scholarship fund(s) for any team. It is possible for individuals to be a member of both the KAA and the B Club.
Do I have to make a gift to be a part of B Club?
No, a gift is not required to be a member of the B Club or to access the B Club exclusive benefits. If you are interested in giving back philanthropically, you can do so through the
Knights Athletics Association and this will give you access to additional donor-exclusive benefits.
