About the Malone Society
Chartered in 2016 as an official chapter of the National Alumni Association, the Malone Society is committed to supporting The University of Alabama. In just under a decade, we’ve experienced tremendous growth and impact through the chapter’s outreach and philanthropy.
Signature events like Houndstooth and Heels, Ready for the Real World, The Malone Awards, and Through the Doors create opportunities for connection, celebration, and impact. These events bring together alumni, family, new grads, current students, and future “Legends” to fundraise, build community, and expand access to higher education.
In 2022, we were proud to introduce two new philanthropy focused events: The Malone Awards and The Malone Society Scholarship Golf Classic, both aimed at elevating our mission and furthering our footprint of service.
Our Three Pillars of Impact:
Alumni Engagement
We create meaningful opportunities for Alumni to connect, celebrate, and give back to The Capstone.
Scholarship Support
We raise critical funds to support and sustain the academic possibilities for future “Legends” to attend and graduate from the University of Alabama.
Mentoring and Networking
We cultivate connections across generations by providing various mentoring and networking opportunities for students and alumni alike.
Help us make further our impact today:
We are strongly engaged in philanthropic work, supporting our scholarships.
