Burrow’s Baton Rouge Tiger Tee-Off Raises Support for Food Insecurity & Mental Health

The Joe Burrow Foundation hosted its second-annual Burrow’s Tiger Tee-Off at Topgolf Baton Rouge on Friday, May 8, 2026, gathering supporters, community leaders, and Tiger fans for an evening centered around “Driving Change for Good.” This special event celebrated the enduring connection between Joe Burrow and Baton Rouge while funding essential community initiatives in kids’ mental health and food insecurity across Louisiana.

The high-energy evening combined friendly golf competition, networking, a silent auction, and community engagement. Following the massive success of the inaugural event that raised more than $550,000, this year’s tee-off solidified Topgolf Baton Rouge events as premium hubs for local sports philanthropy.

The funds raised directly benefit underserved regional areas by expanding local nutrition-education programs, supporting a community rescue kitchen, and expanding kids’ mental-health care accessibility.

Which Charities Does Joe Burrow Support in Louisiana?

Through his personal nonprofit, the quarterback heavily targets regional groups fighting childhood mental-health crises and resource shortages. The Joe Burrow Foundation awarded more than $1 million in grants to organizations, such as the Rain Will Bring Flowers Foundation, BRYC, and Athletes for Hope, that help us fulfill our mission.

Raising Cane’s Donation Powers Mental Health & Food Programs

What is The Joe Burrow Foundation doing to address mental health and food insecurity? The answer lies in sustainable, localized financial support. During the event, presenting partner Raising Cane’s directly advanced these efforts by presenting Joe Burrow with a generous $100,000 corporate donation.

This contribution scales up critical therapeutic programs and nutritional assets in vulnerable, underserved neighborhoods.

“This is always one of my favorite weekends of the year because it brings me back to a place with people who mean so much to me,” said Joe Burrow. “Without everybody in this room and all the people who have supported me in this city, we wouldn’t be standing here today raising money for a good cause.”
