Since 1946, the Greater Birmingham Auburn Club has worked to foster the Auburn spirit and support scholarships for Greater Birmingham students attending Auburn University.

The GBAC SOAR Fund is the Club’s exclusive fundraising arm. Through SOAR, our local Auburn family helps strengthen endowed scholarships that support more than 20 Auburn students each year.

Auburn welcomed 6,112 first-time freshmen in Fall 2025, and more than 1,000 came from the Greater Birmingham area—approximately one in every six new Auburn students. As the cost of attendance continues to rise, scholarship support is more important than ever.

Many of these students return home after graduation to build careers and businesses, serve churches and nonprofit organizations, coach youth sports, support the arts and strengthen the communities we call home.

SOAR membership also supports programs, events and experiences that keep the Auburn spirit strong throughout Greater Birmingham. Corporate partnerships help connect Auburn-owned and Auburn-connected businesses while investing in the graduates who will shape our future workforce.

Choose the monthly or annual membership level that works best for you.

Join SOAR and help Birmingham students soar. War Eagle!
