We are an athletic club established in 1972 with deep history and tradition on campus. We play our sport year-round with 15s season played during the fall and 7s season, the Olympic sport, played from spring into summer. We have historically been a tough battle, with grit and determination, the gorilla way, and we aim to carry on that legacy.

We are seeking donations to relieve financial obligations from our student athletes. The high cost of required equipment and fees has created barriers for students that want to participate.  Our top goal is to keep our athletes from paying out of pocket for costs related to equipment, insurance, and fees, as well as costs associated with the NOLA tournament, an annual event held every February in New Orleans, Louisiana. With access to more resources, we will be able to focus on growing our club.

We thank you for your consideration of a gift that helps us proudly represent Pittsburg State University.
