We are grateful for the support of our Princeton Varsity Club Members and their ongoing commitment to our 1,000 Tiger student-athletes and 38 varsity programs. This support – including that of 490 PVC Lifetime Members – has allowed the PVC to grow and enhance programming and continue to offer meaningful engagement opportunities for our Tiger student-athletes, alumni and greater Princeton community. This commitment also supported the Department of Athletics in its pursuit of Education Through Athletics and Competitive Excellence, resulting in a banner 2025-26 year that saw Tiger teams capture a record 20 conference championships and post Princeton’s second ever Top-20 finish in the prestigious Learfield Directors’ Cup.
The PVC is excited to celebrate it’s 30th year as part of this 2026-27 academic year and commemorate three decades of impact within the Department of Athletics. We encourage you to renew your annual membership or become a PVC Member today for the year ahead. To become a member, make your online gift here, or download the contribution card to mail back to the Princeton Varsity Club. All gifts to the PVC are fully tax-deductible and membership is open to all supporters of Princeton Athletics.
