Message From The President
June 11, 2020
Greetings Club Members:
It is my hope that this message finds you healthy and safe during this time. The coronavirus (COVID-19)
The time is quickly approaching to renew your membership for the upcoming academic year (July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021). As you may or may not be aware, membership is our greatest fundraiser for helping Shaw Athletics and providing scholarships for athletes. In order to continue making a difference in the lives of Shaw athletes, we need your continued support. If you are not currently facing a hardship in these tough times, please continue your membership in the Shaw Bears Booster Club.
Your help is needed now more than ever! Because of the impact Covid-19 has had on the African American communities, we believe the need for our athletes will be great. The last thing any of us want to happen is for one of our athletes to be unable to return to school or leave school because they do not have the funds.
Please do not delay, renew your membership and continue to support Shaw U Athletics.
With Sincere Appreciation,
Jackie B. Smith
Jackie B. Smith ‘72
President

Who Are We
Philosophy We Strive For in The Club
The Shaw University Bear Boosters Club was incorporated in February 1970, by a number of prominent men, among them JudgeGeorge R. Greene, Dr. George C. Debnam, and the “Papa Bear” James E. Lytle, legendary former Athletic Director and coach of Shaw University. “The Club” as it was called, was created to promote the athletic programs at the University with alumni and friends and to serve as a communication link between supporters of athletic programs and the University.
The original objectives and purposes of the “The Club” were:
A. To promote the spirit of fellowship among fellow alumni and friends of Shaw University.
B. To strengthen our relationship with the “The Club” and the Athletic Department of the University
C. To present, encourage and sponsor activities, which will enhance the reputation of the “The Club” and the University and interpret the same to the public.
D. To provide financial support through fundraising in accordance with NCAA Division II policies, University guidelines, federal and state laws, and all applicable school and conference policies.
