The Eagles Athletic Association is made up of friends, family, alumni and community partners who support Biola student-athletes on an annual basis. Members of the EAA have an opportunity to support 19 athletic programs and more than 300 student-athletes at Biola. Membership in the Eagles Athletic Association can begin with a corporate sponsorship or annual gift to the athletics team of your choice.
Corporate sponsorships have an important impact on the students participating on our athletic teams. All sponsorships will be acknowledged as required by the IRS and the fair market value of any benefits received by the donor will be deducted from the gift amount shown on the donor acknowledgement provided.
Please call Mike Teague, Director of Athletics Development, to learn more about sponsorship opportunities with Biola Athletics at (562) 906-4525 or michael.j.teague@biola.edu.
“The EAA has given the Men’s Water Polo program the opportunity, tools, and resources to build our program from the ground up. Your support of Biola Men’s Water Polo has given us the resources to recruit quality student athletes, to purchase necessary equipment, to hire high-level assistant coaches and to develop a challenging game schedule with many travel opportunities. Your support helps our student athletes to strive for excellence athletically and mature spiritually so our team can be a bright light for Christ both in and out of competition.
In our first two seasons, we have had the opportunity to go head-to-head against some of the best teams in the nation. This has allowed us to be challenged athletically, to identify areas of needed improvement and to give us a vision of where we want to be in the future. I believe the distinctly Christian community, faith-integrated academics, and life-changing spiritual development that our student athletes experience here at Biola University also challenges them in their faith, helps them identify areas of growth in their walk with Christ, and gives them vision of the bold faith needed to be a bright light in our world today.
We strive for our program to live out our Biola Athletics Mission Statement; to recruit and educate a diverse group of Christian student-athletes to reach their full potential athletically, relationally, emotionally, spiritually and academically — equipping them in mind and character to impact the world for Christ. We ask that you prayerfully consider supporting our program and the many others within Biola Athletics as we strive for excellence at the NCAA Division II level.”
