Signature Events
Signature events hosted by the Owl Club are meticulously curated to blend the institutional prestige, athletic accomplishments and community spirit of Rice University.
Our signature events raise funds for Rice Athletics while connecting current student-athletes, letterwinners, alumni and supporters for an evening that reinforces the history and enduring value of Rice Athletics.
Table sponsorships, ticket purchases, auction items or donations made at an Owl Club Signature event do not count towards your Owl Club giving level and benefits but may offer their own benefits.
