Lenoir-Rhyne University
Piedmont Educational
Foundation/Bears Club

Welcome
to the Piedmont Educational Foundation, Inc., better known to our loyal
following as the Bears Club, the official fund-raising arm of Lenoir-Rhyne
Athletics. Founded in 1946, the Foundation's primary purpose is to support the
scholarship and program costs for the men's and women's intercollegiate
athletics of Lenoir-Rhyne University.
The
Piedmont Educational Foundation (PEF) coordinates the annual athletic
fund-raising program, as well as capital and endowment gifts for
Lenoir-Rhyne University athletics. Over 600 alumni, corporations, parents and friends have
joined the Foundation and its Bears Club in support of all 17 intercollegiate
teams (As of June 1, 2007, Lenoir-Rhyne will add Men's Tennis and Women's Swimming).
Among the
benefits of being a donor to the PEF/Bears Club, one of the most important
is the pride and satisfaction of providing a quality education for a young
man or woman who has chosen Lenoir-Rhyne University.
All it
takes is the desire to be involved and a decision as to the Bears Club Giving
Level that best suits your needs and abilities.
