Thanksgiving with the Tigers


LSU’s Thanksgiving with the Tigers is the school’s annual holiday event sponsored by LSU's Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athlete Affairs. LSU Athletic Training Students were given the opportunity to adopt an eleven-year old girl through St. Vincent de Paul for the holiday season. As a group, the Athletic Training program donated over $450 dollars. Athletic Training students went on a major shopping spree through Target in search for the perfect holiday gifts. Some of the gifts included a winter coat, a scooter, body spray and lotion, a volleyball, bedding, and bedroom accessories. On November 14, a special dinner and gift presentation was held in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Jared Muth, Alpha Tau Sigma President, said, “This is what the holidays are about. Giving back and being thankful for what we have. It was a lot of fun helping out and making the holiday season special for this girl.” Thanks to all who donated money and time to help make this child’s holiday season one to remember!
