Celebrate the Season with a Gift to LSU!

December 12, 2008

The holidays are a perfect time to consider making end of year, tax deductible gifts to the Forever LSU Campaign!

Although the LSU campus officially closes during the holidays, the Forever LSU Campaign will still be hard at work, making certain that all gifts are processed for the 2008 tax year.

Donors who wish to contribute to the campaign over the holidays are encouraged to visit the www.ForeverLSU.org to make their gift online. The Forever LSU campaign web site features links to giving options for the LSU Foundation, Tiger Athletic Foundation and the LSU Alumni Association as well as holiday contact information for every development professional on campus, should you wish to speak with someone personally regarding your gift.

For those who wish to give a gift of stock over the holidays, complete directions for doing so can be found on the LSU Foundation web site, www.lsufoundation.org, under the Giving option on its home page.

Messages left at the LSU Foundation’s main office number, (225) 578-3811, will be checked daily over the holidays. Your call will be returned promptly.

In this time of giving, you can also honor or memorialize a friend, family member or loved one through a gift to LSU.

Need a gift idea? Perhaps make a lasting mark on LSU’s campus by giving a commemorative brick. Tiger Athletic Foundation Commemorative bricks are engraved with a donor’s name or loved one’s names. These bricks will be a permanent part of the Mike the Tiger Habitat. For more information on TAF bricks visit www.lsutaf.org or call (225)578-4823.

Or, become a part of the LSU Alumni Association's Tiger Walk or Tiger Plaza by purchasing an engraved tile, an everlasting reminder of your loyalty to LSU. Tiles may be donated in memory of a loved one or given as a gift. Order your tile online or contact Brandli Roberts at (225) 578-3852 or by email at brandli@lsualumni.org.

Your gift is an investment in the future of LSU and its impact will be felt across our community. As always, the Forever LSU Campaign thanks you for your generous support of our university and wishes you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
