Dear Butte Athletics Supporter,
The past couple of years have been challenging for all of us as COVID-19 has continued to affect us in so many ways. And our student-athletes at Butte College are no different. Even without a normal athletics season in 2020-21 and a number of interruptions last year, our student-athletes had to overcome so many obstacles to get to where we are today - FINALLY back to competition and hungry for success both on the field of play and in the classroom. And we were VERY successful in 2021-22.
Each year we strive to build upon our great athletics foundation and look to the future for ways to grow and improve. Given that we are a state-funded community college, our operating budgets do not match the quality that we are committed to provide for our student-athletes. Butte College Athletics again needs your partnership so that we are able to reach our goals and continue to operate at a championship level.
The Butte College Athletics Century Club continues to be a way to build support for all of our Butte Roadrunner student-athletes, as well as inform and educate the community about our accomplishments and the challenges we face to preserve our amazing legacy.
In the short time that I have been at Butte College, I have been so impressed and humbled by the support of our loyal fans that understand the value of a community college education and what we strive to achieve.
On behalf of Butte College Athletics and all of our former and current student-athletes, I encourage you to partner with us through the Century Club. And we all thank you so much in advance for your support!
BC PRIDE!
Melody Stockwell
Director of Health, Kinesiology, and Athletics
