SECURE THE FUTURE OF THE PURDUE OUTING CLUB

Founded in 1946, the Purdue Outing Club has been providing outdoor recreation to Purdue students for nearly 80 years! With over 700 active members today, our club continues to offer life-changing outdoor experiences, fostering friendships, adventure, and exploration.

Our members can participate in seven different sports: backpacking, canoeing, caving, climbing, mountain biking, whitewater, and winter sports. For just $30 in annual dues, members gain access to a gear closet valued at over $100,000 and expert-led trips designed to build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of the outdoors.

One of our main sources of funding has been university grants, but these have become increasingly unstable. To ensure the future of the club, we are working to establish an endowment that will generate a steady source of funding for years to come.

All funds raised during this campaign will go toward establishing a Purdue Outing Club endowment. This fund will:

• Secure long-term financial stability for the club
• Ensure students have continued access to outdoor adventures
• Support gear maintenance, trip logistics, and leadership training

If we don't act now, we risk losing the opportunity to create this endowment. Without it, our funding future is uncertain, and we may struggle to continue providing affordable outdoor experiences for Purdue students.

Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our goal and secure the future of the Purdue Outing Club. Help us keep adventure alive for Purdue students today, tomorrow, and for decades to come. Thank you for your support! Boiler Up!
