Battling Bishops Club


BBC Logo Fellow Bishops Fan,

As our coaches and staff begin preparations for the 2011-2012 athletics season, I’d like to take this opportunity to enlist your support for our North Carolina Wesleyan Battling Bishops Club. The BBC is the primary fundraising organization for the Department of Athletics, and it aims to provide our sports teams with direct financial support above and beyond our standard operating budget.

We understand that the success of our athletics program depends upon the dedication of our staff, the passion of our student-athletes and the support of our alumni, parents and fans. Last year alone, we celebrated 79 USA South All-Conference selections, 59 Academic All-Conference honorees, 6 Regular Season and/or Tournament Championships,
5 Players and/or Rookies of the Year, 4 All-Region selections, 3 USA South Coaches of the Year, 2 NCAA Tournament berths and an NCAA Sweet 16 appearance… none of which would have been possible without BBC assistance!

With the new season approaching, we once again anticipate great things from our student-athletes. As always, we will strive to promote our 4C philosophy of character development, classroom success, community involvement and competitive excellence; but now, more than ever, we need your help to succeed in this mission.

Our BBC members play a vital role in helping our programs fulfill their most immediate and pressing needs. Your tax deductible donation can be designated directly to the team/program of your choice or to the department as a whole.  Either way, you will become an integral part of our athletic success here at the College.

I encourage to you to to DOWNLOAD THE BBC BROCHURE or GIVE TO THE BBC NOW via our online giving form (please designate your gift to the BBC and your sport of choice, if applicable). With several new support opportunities and unmatched benefits at each level, we know you will find joining the BBC easier and more enjoyable than ever before. 

If you have any questions about joining the BBC, or would like to know how you can arrange special outings to one of our games for your company, church, neighborhood or civic group, please contact Eddie Coats '87, Assistant Vice President for Development at 252-985-5145 or ecoats@ncwc.edu.  Join us today! 

With sincere thanks,

John Thompson
Vice President and Director of Athletics
