Central Arkansas Athletics is proud to announce the start of a new Purple Circle membership campaign! The 2021 Purple Circle Membership Drive begins today, March 1, and administers benefits through February 28, 2022.
 
About the Purple Circle
The Purple Circle is the official fundraising arm of Central Arkansas Athletics, providing an excellent avenue for alumni, businesses, family, and friends to invest in the lives of Central Arkansas student-athletes. The Purple Circle is critical to the success of our strong athletics program and provides support in key areas such as scholarships, facility upgrades, and student-athlete programming. Nine (9) membership levels offer various benefits to Purple Circle members such as invitations to exclusive Central Arkansas athletic events, priority purchase of reserved seating at ticketed events, complimentary football VIP/priority parking, access to hospitality rooms, and access to the sidelines during select home football games at Estes Stadium.
 
 Drive to 5
Starting today, March 1, the Purple Circle is announcing a year long membership campaign...Drive to 5. The goal of this membership campaign is to grow our Purple Circle membership base to 500 members strong! The Drive to 5 is a challenge to all of Bear Nation, as our student-athletes and coaches prepare to transition into the ASUN Conference on July 1.
 
Dr. Brad Teague: "The members of Purple Circle have been crucial to our continued success. We would not have been as attractive to other conferences without this success. Our great Purple Circle donors are a big reason why we were invited to the ASUN. We have to step it up even more now. To increase our members from the mid 400's to 500 will ensure that we can continue to be competitive in a very strong conference. We want to make sure that we continue to thrive in athletics and continue to thrive in academics. We are proud of our accomplishments but we will never rest. Your support makes this constant desire for improvement and successful results possible. Thank you!"
 
Matt Whiting: "Thank you to our generous Purple Circle donors who continue to support our student-athletes at a high level. As we launch our Drive to 500 campaign, I am eager to partner with our loyal Bear Nation to meet this challenge and significantly enhance opportunities for our great student-athletes and coaches."
