BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Former LSU football star Joe Burrow raised thousands of dollars during the inaugural Tiger Tee-Off in Baton Rouge.

During the fundraising event at TopGolf, the Joe Burrow Foundation raised over $550,000 to support its mission to provide resources and support to the underprivileged and underserved.

Burrow arrived at the golfing arena on May 31, along with some of the players and coaches from the 2019 LSU National Championship team.

“I am thankful to all of the donors and supporters who came out this evening,” said Joe. “It means a lot to give back to a community that has given me so much already. Baton Rouge will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Of the $550K, funds will support Louisiana food education programs, the launch of a new community rescue kitchen and mental health programs.

“We are so excited to reunite with our friends in Baton Rouge,” said Burrow’s mother, Robin Burrow. “When we started this Foundation, Joe really wanted to make sure we included all of the places that really made him who he is. LSU was his home away from home, and really where he became Joe Burrow, so launching this event here feels incredibly meaningful for our entire family.”
