About Our Club
The Gator Club of Jacksonville was founded in 1979 for football fans to watch games with other Gators in the area. Over our 40 years, we have expanded our mission and grown immensely to serve the 14,000+ Gators who also call the Bold City home.
​
Today, Gator Clubs operate as affiliate organizations of the University of Florida Alumni Association and can be found in cities all over the globe. The Gator Nation truly is everywhere! In Jacksonville, we are passionate about our Orange and Blue community and offer a wide variety of events to spark interest in any kind of Gator.
We're proud to invest in the success of our local students. Thanks to the generosity of our club members and partners, we are able to provide financial support for tuition and other educational expenses through our Scholarship Fund, which awards more than $20,000+ each year.
​
We look forward to meeting you at a future event. Go Gators!

IT'S GREAT TO BE A JAX GATOR
President's Welcome
I am excited for the start of a new season! We have many ways for you to connect with the Jacksonville Gator Nation and other Gators.
This year's goal is to award a larger number of scholarships, but we need your assistance by continuing to participate in our fundraising events and making donations to our scholarship fund. For those of you who have supported us over the years and months, I thank you for supporting us while we support Duval County students. For those who have yet to help us support our students, I encourage you to do so. No matter the size of the donation, every dollar counts.
Please engage with us and stay connected to fellow Gators here in Jacksonville by participating with our events. If you're not currently an active member of the UF Alumni Association, it's easy to join. I'm looking forward to a very prosperous year for our Jacksonville Gator Nation.
Go Gators!
