Petersen family with Kim Braun '09

The Braves Scholarship Society

With three daughters who love tennis, Mark and Vicki Petersen decided to add one more player to the family.

The Braves Scholarship Society is comprised of Bradley University alumni and friends of intercollegiate athletics who have chosen to support one of 14 varsity programs. Through membership in this society, donors have the opportunity to personally follow an athlete’s growth throughout his or her Bradley career.

“Our first athlete was volleyball player Lindsay Stalzer ’05 from our hometown of Kewanee,” says Mark Petersen. “Now, our girls love tennis, so we thought it would be natural for them to have a tennis player as a role model.” They recently chose their second athlete, Kim Braun ’09, through their support of the Braves Scholarship Society.

“I think it’s great if you can make a difference in the life of a college athlete, help support the University, and provide a family for an athlete for four years,” says Vicki Petersen.

Benefits include:

  • 100% tax-deductible gift
  • Top priority for season, individual, and post-game ticket requests and perks
  • Invitations to private pre-game and halftime receptions and exclusive Braves Scholarship Society functions
  • VIP parking privileges
  • Braves Club membership benefits at the highest level, and more

The most important benefit is the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to make the Bradley athletic program one of the best in the nation.
