Support Houston Football with every win, touchdown, sack or turnover forced
HOUSTON – Building off the success of the 2025 Houston Football Pledge Per campaign, Cougar Pride has announced the return of the program connecting fans with the game. In this fundraising initiative, supporters can commit to a season-long pledge in support of Cougar Football with contributions made per victory, per touchdown, per sack, and/or per turnover forced.
The 2025 Pledge Per campaign tallied contributions for 10 wins, 41 touchdowns, 28 sacks, and 22 turnovers forced. Those contributions were utilized for 2025 Texas Bowl championship rings, supplementing operational dollars for official visits from the transfer portal, and general operational needs.
The program allows supporters to select their contribution level starting at $5 per with additional options of $10, $25, $46, and $100. The $46 commitment level pays homage to the 46ers group, the inaugural football supporters for the University of Houston. This model allows supporters to scale their contributions with the Coogs’ success rather than pre-determined membership levels.
How it works:
- Visit this link and select your pledge for the 2026 season. Fans can select an individual category to pledge or stack multiple pledges for an amplified contribution to Cougar Pride.
- Make your gift for the first victory, touchdown, sack, and/or forced turnover (your card will be charged upon making the initial pledge at the selected amount)
- Cheer on Cougar Football each week while making an impact on all UH student-athletes
Supporters can opt to complete their pledge at the end of the football season in one gift or break up contributions throughout the season with the card on file:
- First pledge payment: September 28 – Oregon State, Southern, Texas Tech, Georgia Southern
- Second pledge payment: October 26 – UCF, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Utah
- Third pledge payment: November 30 – Cincinnati, Colorado, West Virginia, Baylor
- Fourth pledge payment: The week following the conclusion of the season
All funds from the initiative will be directed towards the AD Excellence Fund in direct support of the football program. All gifts towards the Pledge Per campaign are considered tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and are counted towards Cougar Pride Priority Points.
