Our Partners:
Building the Gryphon Football Experience
Gryphon Football is built on more than what happens between the lines. It is powered by a community of partners who believe in creating meaningful experiences for our student-athletes, our fans, and our extended Gryphon family. Through the support of the Friends of Gryphon Football (FOGF), these partnerships help bring our biggest moments to life - from game day tailgates and in-stadium experiences, to signature events like the Golf Tournament and Celebration of Honour, and even behind-the-scenes support that ensures our players are taken care of throughout the season.
Each partner plays a unique role in strengthening the gryphon football program. Together, we are creating an environment where our student-athletes can thrive, our alumni stay connected, and our community continues to grow stronger.
We are proud to recognize the organizations who stand with Gryphon Football — and we are always looking to welcome new partners who want to make a difference.
