With numerous avenues to give and take part in making an impact on student-athletes, supporters can determine how they want to get involved. From the annual giving fund supporting scholarships through Team TAF, to the philanthropic leadership arm of The Oaks, every level of support makes a difference. Sport-specific giving allows supporters to connect with their favorite programs through booster clubs and excellence funds, while Bayou Traditions empower student-athletes with Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities. Regardless of size, each contribution plays a vital role in academically and athletically enhancing the LSU student-athlete experience.
A pillar of TAF’s fundraising efforts, Team TAF members address a fundamental need in student-athlete education yearly. By directly helping to offset the costs of tuition, fees and housing, Team TAF members empower student-athletes in their daily lives and ensure these student-athletes have the opportunity to excel academically and prepare for a successful future.
Beyond scholarship, TAF is committed to providing state-of-the-art facilities that enable student-athletes to compete at the highest level. The Fall 2024 unveiling of the Football Operations Recovery Suite revealed a new, cutting-edge athletic training room and recovery area. This new expansion was funded by support from The Oaks and impacts all 21 varsity athletics programs at LSU, prioritizing the health and wellness of student-athletes with world-class care.
“TAF’s vision is to cultivate a supportive environment where student-athletes are empowered to reach their full potential beyond wins and championships. TAF is building leaders, innovators and future champions in life”
In 2024, TAF proudly inducted 15 new members into The Campbell Society. These donors’ transformational gifts have left a mark on LSU Athletics. Named after E.R. “Bo” Campbell, the first former LSU student-athlete to make a major gift through TAF, this society continues Campbell’s legacy of philanthropy and support for future generations of student-athletes.
