What We've Done
Since its founding in 1979, Bluejay Backers has made a significant difference in Elmhurst University athletics. For example, the group provided critical initial funding for the 2002 Langhorst Field renovation, the 1997 renovation of the football locker room in Goebel Hall, and the 1987 construction of the Oliver M. Langhorst Field Press Box.
In addition, the club has purchased rehabilitation and conditioning machines for the training room, weight machines for the weight room in the Tyrrell Fitness Center, and all of the concession equipment used in the concession stands at Langhorst Field and R.A Faganel Hall. It has provided funding for new uniforms, team equipment, and team trips.
