Contributions directly impact Liberty’s 550 student-athletes and the Athletics Department. Contributions help to underwrite scholarship, travel, and stadium maintenance expenses.

A sport-specific gift goes directly to the excellence fund of the sport of your choosing. These funds are used at the discretion of the coach of that sport with the approval of the Athletics Director. Annual Fund contributions are unrestricted gifts to the Athletics Department. Annual Fund gifts qualify donors for ticket and parking benefits, while sport-specific gifts do not.

Now! As benefits are tied to the year in which you will be a member, you can renew or join for the current academic year with benefits from football – baseball, or for next year at any time.

First, you’re helping to support Training Champions for Christ through athletics. Liberty Athletics has a broad reach that supports the mission of the University. Season ticket holders who donate at least at the Eagle Level ($120) will receive priority parking benefits for each sport that they have season tickets to, subject to availability along with many other benefits. Learn more on our Benefits Page.

Membership benefits apply to your entire family. Each level has limits regarding how many tickets you can purchase in priority. For more information on those please see our Flames Club Brochure. Memberships can also be owned by a corporation or business.

No, Flames Club Memberships can either be paid in full, set up as a payment plan, or pledged. 2021 Annual Fund pledges must be paid in full by June 1, 2022 unless you are receiving season tickets. If you purchased season tickets, then your membership is due by the following deadlines:

Football – 50% due by Aug. 1, 2021

Basketball – 100% due by Oct. 1, 2021

Baseball – 100% due by Feb. 1, 2022

Beginning with the 2022 Annual Fund, 100% of your Flames Club Membership balance will be due by Aug. 1.

Under the federal tax law, effective Jan. 1, 2018, the portion of a contribution that qualifies a donor for seating privileges is no longer tax-deductible. Gifts to the Flames Club, for which a donor elects to waive privileges, maintain the potential for tax deductibility. Please consult your tax advisor regarding how these options may affect your individual tax situation. If you have any questions regarding your giving summary, please contact our Donor Services department at (800) 628-7978. If any of these donations come from an IRA rollover account, you should consult your tax advisor.

Flames Club benefits run during the school year, not the calendar year. For example, 2021 Annual Fund memberships will carry benefits from July 2021 through June 2022. This covers the 2021 Football, 2021-22 Basketball, and 2022 Baseball seasons for ticketing and parking benefits.

Yes! Flames Club members will also receive a gift with their membership, our weekly Light ‘Em Up Flames Club email, and various other opportunities and Flames Club only events throughout the year. Members also receive priority for away game tickets at regular-season events, conference championships, NCAA Tournament and bowl games.

If you were a member prior to 2018 and haven’t been a member since, please notify us at the time you join, so we can pull into our database any historical information. Provided you don’t have any unpaid pledges from previous years, there is nothing else you need to do. If you do have an outstanding pledge, you will need to complete that pledge before receiving benefits (season tickets and parking) for the current year.

No problem! Contact us at flamesclub@liberty.edu or give us a call at (434) 582-CLUB (2582).
