Welcome
Fellow Boilermaker Faithful,
Growing up in South Bend, I have always known there was Purdue pride in St. Joseph County. Since I have been involved in the Purdue Club of St. Joseph Valley (PCSJV), I have attended many gatherings in our area that were brimming with Boilermaker faithful. The Boilers in the Bend are some of the most loyal, selfless, and giving persons I have met in my life. The sense of community I have experienced as a part of the PCSJV is unlike any other group I have known. It is my sincere hope that we can continue to grow our outreach and offer a platform for all Boilermakers to have the same feelings of solidarity for years to come.
The Purdue Club of St. Joseph Valley has been a part of the community in St. Joseph County, Indiana, since 1988. During that time, our club has grown to be one of the largest scholarship giving Purdue Alumni clubs in the world! Our scholarship program is our biggest pride. In 2022, we awarded a combined total of $43,000 to twenty–two noteworthy students within our community. Funding for our scholarships come from the altruistic donors that are a part of our mailing list and from the countless fundraising events we host throughout the year. Our club is ever grateful because our members are ever true.
If you are a Purdue Alumnus, a Purdue fan, or a Purdue family I implore you to reach out to our club. Whether you join us for our annual night at Four Winds Field to watch the South Bend Cubs baseball team, to test your wits at our annual trivia night fundraiser, or to cheer on the Boilermakers at one of our game watch parties, I can guarantee you will make joyful memories and possibly a new friend. Our club is charitable, it is sociable, it is FAMILY. All Hail Our Own Purdue!
Boiler Up,
Rebecca Lindenman
President – The Purdue Alumni Club of St. Joseph Valley
