To benefit CSU Pueblo Athletics Scholarships

Thursday, July 30, 2026 at 6 p.m. - Occhiato Student Center Ballroom

For the 22nd year, the Colorado State University Pueblo Department of Athletics is kicking off its athletic season with a celebration, the Pride of the Pack! 

Pride of the Pack, formerly the Lobster Bake, not only kicks off a new season of ThunderWolves Intercollegiate Athletics but helps raise funds for the Pack Club Scholarship Drive. The goal of the Scholarship Drive is to provide the necessary resources to ensure academic and athletic success for CSU Pueblo's 500 student-athletes, 50 athletic department staff members and 19 intercollegiate sports programs. #BackthePack! 

What's on tap at the Pride of the Pack?

For just $80 per person, fans of Pack Athletics enjoy a relaxed atmosphere filled with fun, silent auction items, live auction items and live music performed by Christian Jaquez. Attendees will get a chance to meet CSU Pueblo student-athletes, coaches and staff and get an insider's view on the upcoming 2026-27 athletic year along.  People attending the Pride of the Pack will have the first opportunity to pick up Pack Club gear, join the Pack Club and pick up season tickets.
