Circle of Excellence Society

The Yosef Club Circle of Excellence Society (YCE) serves as a leadership fundraising entity under the Appalachian State University Athletics Yosef Club. This organization is philanthropic in nature with its members invested in the success of App State Athletics.

Established in 2013, the Circle of Excellence Society was created to recognize App State Athletics' most prominent benefactors that provide annual philanthropic support at the highest levels.  Since the inception of the program, 34 individuals have committed more than $3.5 million.

Circle of Excellence Society funds are distributed to the Yosef Club Scholarship budget and a Competitive Excellence fund. Scholarship support is critical to providing our coaches the funding they need to recruit talented student-athletes.  In addition, App State Athletics is committed to hiring and retaining outstanding individuals who impact the lives of our student-athletes and serve our constituents with pride.

Through their generosity, YCE members will help advance App State Athletics exponentially.
