The DBU Baseball Vision for Champions is a major campaign effort to build support and momentum for a program that the University views as central to its recruitment efforts, its mission, and its visibility.
It's also about reaching people through the sport of baseball — a game that people love — and introducing them to a Savior who loves them even more.
Baseball has been a part of DBU for nearly 100 years dating back to our Decatur Baptist College team of 1908. As the University's flagship intercollegiate sport, not only is it an important rallying point for the student population, it gives both the players and student supporters the opportunity to share Christ with others.
The DBU baseball program is a strong element in recruiting, and succeeds in developing quality athletes who can excel as committed team players, academic achievers, and Christian servant leaders.
Because of this, we envision baseball as a key program to draw quality undergraduates to our Christ-centered studies, increase the quality of student life, and gain visibility for the University while increasing community interest and support.
Major gifts and endowed scholarships play an important role in supporting student-athletes and the DBU Baseball program. As the cost of a college education and the expense of collegiate athletics continue to rise, permanent endowment gifts provide the support needed for many athletes to flourish and excel — in the classroom, on the playing field, and in all areas of life.
Your
contributions are important and will ensure that baseball remains a vital part of DBU — an essential program that trains servant leaders and champions for Christ while touching the lives of thousands of people.
We invite you to be part of our future and make the difference!
