’Bird Backer
What
is the ’Bird Backer program? The ’Bird Backer program is an avenue for alumni, friends, family and the greater community to be part of our Thunderbird team. With this support we can continue our commitment to excellence, and turn today’s student-athletes into tomorrow’s community leaders.
Why
should I be a ’Bird Backer? Great varsity programs are built with the help of great supporters. Being a UBC student-athlete requires a significant commitment of time and energy throughout the entire academic year. As a department, UBC Athletics is committed to offering our athletes a great experience where they can focus on academics and athletics, leaving little time for part-time employment. The ’Bird Backer program is one tool that helps ease the financial burden on our student-athletes.

Dollars raised through the ’Bird Backer program directly benefit the student-athletes. Funds will be utilized to help subsidize costs such as international team travel and team apparel — costs that are often levied against the studentathletes.
