Athletics
The Foundation supports sports clubs at LSU, allowing teams to focus on practicing, playing, and winning — instead of business and fundraising. The Dietzel Foundation combines third-party corporate sponsors, internal funding, and team-supported fundraising campaigns to provide funding.
Sports Clubs at LSU are supported by University Recreation, but receive no monetary funding for their teams. Because of this, student athletes often must fundraise among friends and family in order to pay for equipment and travel. The Dietzel Foundation works as a central funding organization that allows all teams to receive the generous support of the LSU and Louisiana community.
We are currently looking to expand the number of participating teams, and grow awareness of the Foundation's support of Athletics.
