The Black Alumni Leadership Council has planned exciting Homecoming initiatives this year—each one including a gift to support the Black Alumni Scholarship Fund.

Tailgate on Myers Quad (Oct. 16) 

The UGA Black Alumni family returns to Myers Quad for this annual celebration of spirit and pride. The party will start three hours prior to kickoff before the Dawgs take on Kentucky. Note: Black Alumni T-shirts will not be disseminated on site, so be sure to purchase yours ASAP if you'd like to have it in time for gameday.

Black Alumni Swag Box + T-Shirt 

Beat the FOMO and order your annual box packed with exclusive Bulldog merch, as well as the annual UGA Black Alumni T-shirt. For each box ($55) sold, $15 of your payment goes back to the Black Alumni Scholarship Fund (and $5 for each shirt sold). Note: there are only 400 boxes available. Order yours early to avoid missing out! 

By attending the in-person tailgate, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present, including this event. Unvaccinated individuals are strongly encouraged to continue socially distancing from others when possible and wearing a face covering. Our highest priority is the health, safety and well-being of our alumni and friends, as well as your respective communities.

Named for the year of desegregation at the University of Georgia, the 1961 Club is a special group of donors who are committed to ensuring undergraduate student success.
