WARRENSBURG, Mo. – University of Central Missouri Athletics and Sidearm Sports launched a brand-new webpage for the Cardinal & Black Fund (CBF), it was announced on Tuesday, August 12.

The new webpage can be found directly at UCMAthletics.com/CBF or by clicking the "CBF" tab at the top of UCMAthletics.com.

"We are very excited about our new development website. One of the pieces of feedback we have gotten from our fans and the community is that it can be hard to find information about ways to get involved and what the benefits may be," UCM Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Relations Joe Thuente said. "This site houses all the info that you might want and allows for a convenient way to give online. I want to thank our outgoing Assistant AD for Development, Ryan Snyder, for all the work he did to get this put together. It sets us up well for the future."

The webpage features information on the Cardinal & Black Fund and ways to join or renew online, as well as information on The Central Stable Collective, Individual Team Excellence Funds, Varsity C Club, Major Gifts, and the Recent Alumni Program.

Renewals and new memberships are now available for the Cardinal & Black Fund. Membership in the CBF is the best way to support UCM student-athletes. Check out the webpage for more details and to sign up.
