ABOUT THE CAF
The Cardinal Athletic Fund was established in 1979 as an avenue for the Athletic Department to be a self sustaining entity. Since then, the commitment and growth of the CAF has been extraordinary.
For 30 years, the goals and dreams of UofL student-athletes have been made possible by the The Cardinal Athletic Fund and over 9,000 gracious supporters. Through our members’ annual contributions ranging from $100 to $100,000 and above, UofL student-athletes are provided the opportunity to pursue their academic goals and their athletic dreams, while learning the skills that will prepare them to impact their future communities. Achieving this mission is a tribute to the true spirit of the Cardinal Athletic Fund.
Your membership in the CAF provides you with many exciting benefits as outlined in this website. As we continue to grow our Athletic program in new ways, such as the Expansion of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium and relocating our basketball teams to the Downtown Arena, these benefits will provide you with great value and enhance your overall experience as part of the UofL team.
