We are entirely inclusive to the Kent State Athletics community, encompassing former student-athletes, donors, fans, season ticket holders, faculty/staff, the entire City of Kent and its surrounding areas. The Golden Flashes Club is a group comprised of passionate donors to Kent State Athletics which depends on philanthropy to provide Kent State student-athletes the assistance they need to excel a

cademically and athletically. Your tax-deductible gift to The Golden Flashes Club allows Kent State to provide support to more than 400 student-athletes every year, as well as operational support for 17 varsity sports as well as Cheer and Dance programs. The primary goal of The Golden Flashes Club is to help offset the $7.2 million annual scholarship bill and capital enhancements to Kent State athletic facilities. In recognition of your support, The Golden Flashes Club can provide members with various hospitality options, premium seating opportunities, preferred parking, donor appreciation games with game day giveaways, special events and much more.
