Frequently Asked Questions

ARE H-CLUB CONTRIBUTIONS TAX DEDUCTIBLE?

Please consult your tax advisor regarding deductibility of H-Club contributions. For reference, membership payments earn benefits, including the opportunity to purchase football season tickets in select sections. Outright gifts earn no benefits.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN H-CLUB AND BOOSTER CLUBS?

Each booster club supports a specific sport, while H-Club supports all Hawaii Athletics programs and operations. H-Club and booster clubs operate independently with membership dues credited to one program only (i.e. booster club dues do not credit to H-Club and vice versa).

MAY I DIRECT MY H-CLUB CONTRIBUTION IN SUPPORT OF A SPECIFIC SPORTS PROGRAM?

H-Club gifts (contributions not for membership) may be directed towards the sports program of your choice. Please note these funds are not considered booster club membership dues.

H-Club membership payments and seat premiums support Hawaii Athletics as a whole and are not eligible to be earmarked for specific programs.

WHY DOES H-CLUB MEMBERSHIP RECOGNIZE SEAT PREMIUMS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT YEAR?

H-Club encompasses five ticketed sports with seat premiums collected at various times throughout the year. Referencing seat premiums from the previous year allows H-Club to recognize the full scope of a member’s annual support.

IS H-CLUB STATUS EARNED VIA FOOTBALL CLUB SEATING, COURTSIDE SEATING, OR GIFTS TO UH FOUNDATION

No, H-Club membership is earned strictly through the combination of seat premiums and membership payments.

CAN I BECOME AN H-CLUB MEMBER WITHOUT BEING A SEASON TICKET HOLDER

Yes, non-season ticket holders may become H-Club members by making a membership payment of $50 or more.

WILL RELOCATING OR ADDING SEASON TICKETS CHANGE MY CURRENT H0CLUB MEMBERSHIP LEVEL

No, seat premiums paid this year do not count towards your current H-Club status. These seat premiums will work towards your membership status next year.

I AM A NEW SEASON TICKET HOLDER THIS YEAR THAT PAID A SEAT PREMIUM. HOW CAN I EARN H-CLUB MEMBER BENEFITS?

New season ticket holders may become H-Club members immediately by making a membership payment of $50 or more. Seat premiums attached to your new season tickets will count toward H-Club membership next year.

ARE MEMBERSHIPS TRANSFERABLE

No, H-Club membership earned through seat premiums and/or membership contributions may not be transferred or credited to other accounts. Exceptions to this policy are granted for multiple accounts under the same name or account combinations between spouses.

IS THERE A DEADLINE FOR JOINING H-CLUB OR UPGRADING MY MEMBERSHIP LEVEL

There is no specific deadline for joining H-Club or upgrading your membership level. However, member benefits are distributed throughout the year and may not be available after seasons begin or after all items have been allotted.
