Shareholders' Recognition Society

Philanthropic investments from our devoted alumni and friends provide the foundation upon which we maintain our success, attract and retain the best faculty, and offer high-impact learning opportunities. More specifically, private gifts made to the Harbert Excellence Fund enable us to enhance the student experience and ensure our graduates are job ready and career minded.

Football Parking Information

In order to qualify to purchase football parking passes each year, you must contribute $1,000 or more and have your entire gift made by December 31 of the previous calendar year. Parking is allocated on a priority system based on gift level. So, you will need to make your gift before December 31st of each year to qualify for parking for the next year. For example, if I donated before December 31, 2023, I would be eligible to apply for parking for the 2024 football season.

Note: Please be aware that gameday parking opportunities are not guaranteed to every member. Auburn University’s gameday parking program and allotments are determined annually by a priority system and may be terminated at any time.

You are only eligible to purchase one parking pass per individual membership no matter your level of contribution.

In compliance with IRS regulations, a non-deductible fee will be required each year for purchasing gameday football parking passes. This fee will be collected separately upon the university’s allocation and launch of each season’s leasing program.
