PEF/Bears Club Overview
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 20 intercollegiate teams
On June 1, 2007, Lenoir-Rhyne added Men's Tennis and Women's Swimming and added Men's and Women's Lacrosse and Men's Swimming prior to the 2010-11 academic year.
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.
