The Impact of your Support

Your Gift in Action

Increased Academic Resources

The Thrower Center is the premier student-athlete success center in Division II and continually provides Best In Class service in academics and student life.

Facility Improvements

Over the past four years, every athletic program has received a brand new locker room or locker room enhancement through the support of our donors.

Best In Class Travel

Since 2015, over 50 Lion Athletics teams have qualified for NCAA postseason, and LCF support has assisted in making sure they travel in comfort and have plenty of time to arrive at road contests to prepare.

Expanded Sports Medicine Facilities

Lion Sports Medicine has had its capabilities to serve multiple teams at once expanded in the Field House, Memorial Stadium and west campus facilities.

Why We Give

News Spotlights

The Varsity L Club

The A&M-Commerce/ET Association of Former Student-Athletes – is an organization formed to reconnect former student-athletes to our university and Lion Athletics.

Just four years ago, we had less than 300 accurate former student-athlete contact points, and that number is increasing every day!

Join TODAY by updating your contact information and securing your spot with a $30 donation to the LCF. You will receive a Varsity L Club decal, and your sport specific sticker with your registration and gift.
