Princeton Athletics Friends Groups

The Athletics Friends Groups at Princeton University support a wide range of needs and opportunities within each of the 38 varsity athletics teams. These 18 volunteer groups work diligently to raise funds for items such as out-of-region and foreign travel, on-campus recruiting trips, specialized equipment, technology needs, events for alumni and team banquets. Annual donations to the Athletics Friends Groups can be used immediately by the program to which they are directed.

Athletics Friends Groups aim to secure philanthropic and volunteer support that enables coaches to recruit and develop some of the finest scholar-athletes in the world, and to provide our student-athletes with the best possible overall experience. Friends Groups events and programs (such as fundraising celebration dinners, alumni days, on-the-road gatherings and mentoring & networking nights) offer opportunities to connect with alumni and current student-athletes, and provide invaluable support and a direct impact on Princeton’s teams.

For more information about Athletics Friends Groups, please contact Jeff Ballen, Assistant Director of Athletics/Advancement & Athletics Friends Groups, at 609.258.5508 or jballen@princeton.edu.

The Princeton Varsity Club would like to extend a special “thank you” to the many Athletics Friends Groups and Athletic Friends Group leaders who have sponsored tables this evening!
