Women Inspiring and Nurturing Greatness in Student-Athletes

Wings is a philanthropic support program dedicated to empowering Auburn’s female student-athletes and elevating our women’s sports programs to new heights.

Since its inception in 2008, WINGS has helped fund many areas throughout women's athletics. From new equipment at gymnastics, supporting renovations for soccer and women's basketball locker rooms, to enhancements at the outdoor pool, our student-athletes and coaches in women's athletics have benefited from the financial contributions of our WINGS members. WINGS has also implemented a highly successful mentoring program that our female student-athletes participate in yearly. 

At Auburn, we believe in providing every student-athlete with the tools, opportunities, and resources they need to succeed — both on and off the field!

By becoming a WINGS member, you are investing in the future of Auburn Women’s Athletics — helping our teams soar to new achievements and setting a strong foundation for the generations to come. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

Join WINGS today and help our female student-athletes fly higher than ever before!
