Hall of Fame Nominations Being Accepted for 2012 Induction
Each year, Mount Union honors a select group of former student-athletes, coaches and athletic supporters with induction into the M Club Hall of Fame. The 2012 induction ceremony is slated for Saturday, October 27.
Nominations for the 2012 class are now being accepted, but keep in mind that in order for someone to be selected for the Hall of Fame, he or she must be nominated by a M Club member! Nominees must have graduated in 1997 or before.
We have been able to accomplish much,but with your gift, we can support Mount Union athletics even more! There are two ways you can show your support - Membership Gifts and Reverse Raffle and Silent Auction.

Last fiscal year (July 1 - June 30), M Club provided funding for the women's basketball team to host a 2011 Thanksgiving Shootout Tournament, purchased new warm-ups for the men's soccer team, purchased additional new mats for the wrestling program, donated $5,000 to the Dan Gorman Sophomore Prize, assisted with facility signage and contributed to the Mount Union Stadium turf project. This was all made possible through your generous membership gifts! Please consider supporting at a level that works for you if you haven't already done so this year.
