Absolutely! This is the best part of being a member
of the IMPACT Circle. The Phoenix Club will assemble the top
student athletes based on athletic and academic performance,
character and those who are proud to wear maroon and gold and
introduce them to IMPACT Circle members. Wonderful personal
lifetime relationships can be established between the donor
and student athlete. IMPACT Circle events will be scheduled
in the fall and spring to enable members to meet the Elon
student athletes they generously support.
