Pinellas Gators

The Pinellas County Gator Club is your Gator home away from Gainesville! Originally founded in 1979 as an affiliate of the UF Athletic Association, we are the official chapter of University of Florida Alumni Association in Pinellas County and are here so serve you, the alumni of the greatest University in the country. Membership is open to all Gator alumni as well as friends and family members of the University of Florida.

By engaging and strengthening the alumni network in Pinellas County through our various networking and outreach events, our club is able to serve the University of Florida and help advance its mission and objectives, including supporting UF’s goal of promoting its spot in the US News and World Report rankings.

Throughout the year, we offer a variety of both professional and personal networking opportunities with local alumni and friends of the University of Florida in various capacities. Some of our regular events include cheering for the Florida football team each and every Saturday during football season, networking with fellow Gators throughout Pinellas County and even Tampa Bay, hosting charity event that benefit both our local area and the University of Florida, rallying local anglers at our annual Tarpon Fishing Tournament, and keeping the spirit of the Gator Nation strong in Pinellas.

We are a 501(c)(3) and fundraise all year so that we may award $10,000 in scholarships annually to incoming University of Florida freshmen from Pinellas County.
