What's in a Name?
Many South Texas sports fans have some memory of the University of Corpus Christi (UCC) Tarpons. Our University fielded football, basketball, tennis, and baseball teams during different times from 1947-1973.

After a 25 year hiatus, the A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders began competing in the Fall of 1998. In an effort to re-connect with UCC alumni, the University administration decided to name the athletic department’s fundraising arm the Tarpon Foundation.

A Short History
The Tarpon Foundation, like the entire athletic program, was started from scratch in 1998. Since then, a number of volunteers made of alumni and friends have assisted in the Athletic Department’s fundraising efforts. A volunteer board consisting of 15 members has been instrumental in membership growth.
