PVC members provide financial assistance for a wide variety of events and programming that benefit ALL 38 varsity teams and 1,000 student-athletes, and helps sustain Princeton Athletics' tradition of competitive excellence.
In addition to supporting core PVC programming - including Tigers in the Community, PVC Varsity Weight Room, Gary Walters '67 PVC Awards Banquet and Alumni Engagement gatherings and special events, to name a few - the PVC Lifetime Membership program provides critical financial flexibility to the Ford Family Director of Athletics to help address the department's top central priorities and further enhance the Princeton student-athlete experience for all.
