Inaugural Tiger Tee-Off Raises over $550K, Reunites 2019 LSU National Champions
The Joe Burrow Foundation’s inaugural Burrow’s Tiger Tee-Off at TopGolf Baton Rouge raised over $550,000 to support its mission. Founded by LSU 2019 Heisman Trophy winner and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, alongside his parents, Jimmy and Robin Burrow, the Foundation provides critical resources to the unprivileged and underserved, with an emphasis on mental health and food insecurity.
Presented by Raising Cane’s, the event took place at TopGolf Baton Rouge on Saturday, May 31, and featured an appearance by Joe Burrow, players and coaches from the 2019 LSU National Championship team, Raising Cane’s founder Todd Graves and several key sponsors, including MMR Group, Emergent Method and Our Lady of the Lake Health.
“I am thankful to all of the donors and supporters that came out this evening,” said Joe Burrow. “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.”
The funds raised will directly support the Foundation’s expanding Louisiana initiatives, including food education programs, the launch of a new community rescue kitchen in partnership with the Three O’clock Project and other community partners and critical mental health programming. The Foundation recently showcased its hands-on approach at Claiborne Elementary School, where students participated in interactive lessons and taste tests and took home fresh bags of produce.
“We are so excited to reunite with our friends in Baton Rouge,” said 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.”
