Investing In Champions

"When it came time for me to find a college, I knew I wanted to attend one where I could continue my Christian education and have the support of the college community. WLC was a perfect match. Attending WLC I get to use my God given talents by earning my degree and playing football. I have had so much support from my family, friends, and school to help me become a Christian leader on and off the football field. Thanks to the Warrior Club I can continue to play football and become part of a solid group of Christian athletes. Without the Warrior Club the athletic programs would not have the same rate of success as they do now. It is a true blessing to be part of this family and thanks to the people of the Warrior Club I will be able to make the most of my time here." – Eric Zeitler, Warriors football student-athlete

"Being a part of Wisconsin Lutheran College Athletics has been an incredible blessing. For the past three years, the Warrior Club has given me many opportunities and experiences that are unforgettable. I have created lifelong bonds and friendships with coaches, teammates, and friends by being involved with the WLC family. As a student-athlete, I have learned how to be a stronger leader, athlete, and most importantly, Christian. The Warrior Club has formed an amazing support system which helps with the success of our program. The women’s basketball team appreciates everything the Warrior Club has done for them and continues to do. I thank God for all of the blessings WLC is able to provide for all of the student-athletes." – Alyssa Allister, Warriors women’s basketball student-athlete

Be The Difference

"We have seen the opportunities that WLC offers to all of its students including the chance to play NCAA Division III sports. We are blessed to be able to help the students as they develop the discipline, camaraderie and teamwork that goes into and comes out of being part of a team. While we can't make most of the games, we enjoy listening to the webcasts at home. It's like we are right there either on the field or courtside." – Dave and Kari Kellen, parents

"As a former student-athlete, I know how rewarding it is to be a part of college athletics. My donation for a lifetime Warrior Club membership allows me to show my support for WLC Athletics. I enjoy the benefits of membership like free admission to games, sitting courtside at basketball contests, reading the Warrior Insider newsletters and purchasing Warrior Wearables at a discount." – Renee Kietzmann '92
