Many of our alumni, friends, and donors work for companies that offer generous matches to their employee contributions. Not only does this double your impact on ISU Athletics, but it can also help increase your donor level. Check with your employer to find out if they will match your donation to Illinois State University Athletics.
Our priority points system is a fair and consistent method of assigning seat locations, parking, away game ticket purchases, postseason ticket priority, and other related benefits.
