Whether you are a longtime member renewing your commitment or a new supporter, your contribution to LTAC plays a critical role in ensuring the success of our current student-athletes and building a championship future for Louisiana Tech Athletics. Looking back at the first annual Louisiana Tech Giving Day in 2019, the Louisiana Tech family combined to donate over $1.28 million and our athletics supporters accounted for over $327,000 of that amount. As we continue to move forward in 2020, we must continue to provide our student-athletes with the best available resources in their pursuit of championships on and off the field.
WHY GIVE TO LTAC?..................................................................2
We are excited to see progress being made with the new facilities as it shows what is in store for Louisiana Tech. These premier facilities will showcase Louisiana Tech and be a beacon to all incoming and current students, as well as alumni and donors alike. I cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support, which will help us accomplish our goals.

TOMMY
McCLELLAND DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
The Louisiana Tech Athletic Club is the athletic fundraising arm of the Division of University Advancement. Our mission is to provide 300+ studentathletes a first-class experience and support in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. 1
WHY GIVE TO LTAC? Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC) funding supports 16 men’s and women’s Division I-sanctioned sports and is the lifeblood of our athletics department. A gift to LTAC makes a direct impact on our student-athletes, helping to cover costs associated with scholarships, academic support, and other necessary athletic expenses. No matter the amount, every dollar truly makes a difference. We ARE SO THANKFUL TO ALL OF OUR LOUISIANA TECH ATHLETIC DONORS. YOUR SUPPORT ON LAST YEAR'S LOUISIANA TECH GIVING DAY SHOWED HOW LOYAL THE TECH FAMILY IS.

HENDERSON FB • R-SR. • LAKE WALES, FLA. SOCIOLOGY Coming from a junior college and not knowing if I was going to have another opportunity, I really appreciate Tech for giving me a full scholarship to carry on my dream. I will be forever grateful for how the LA Tech family welcomed me with open arms. It means a lot to my family because I am the only child on my Dad’s side to attend college. I wouldn’t be able to fulfill my dreams without your support.

ORAVCOVA TENNIS • SR. • PIESTANY, SLOVAKIA MANAGEMENT For me receiving my scholarship means that I have succeeded, that all the hard work over the years has paid off. I'm very grateful to all the donors who support athletics year in and year out so that I may have this opportunity. It is my honor to represent LA Tech in sport that I love.

LOUISIANA TECH AND GRAMBLING AT MEDCAMPS AND THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB Louisiana Tech and Grambling football teams joined together for a day of service on June 4 in Lincoln Parish. The schools had football student-athletes visit MedCamps and The Boys & Girls Club of NW Louisiana to serve the community. This was a goodwill effort leading up to the first game ever played between the two schools in Ruston on September 7.
DOGS WITH A CAUSE Dogs with A Cause is a character education program that began in the fall of 2016 and is a collaborative effort between Louisiana Tech Athletics and the College of Education Clinical Residency Center. Directed by Dr. Amy Vessel and Assistant Athletic Director for Academics Amber Burdge, Louisiana Tech student-athletes are “coached� by clinical residents as they prepare to team teach in their adopted classrooms at local elementary schools. The program engages residents in curriculum design, provides our student-athletes an opportunity to interact with local children, and makes a difference in the lives of each person touched by the program.
THE BIG EVENT On April 27, The Big Event had new meaning with a tornado coming through Ruston just days prior. Student-athletes, staff, community members, and countless others helped cleaning up from the devastation. This was vital in the road to recovery as the University and community banded together to truly embody the #RustonStrong mentality.

Recruiting: Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospective student-athlete or a prospective student-athlete's family members by an institutional staff member or by a representative of the institution's athletics interests for the purpose of securing the prospective student-athlete's enrollment and ultimate participation in the institution's intercollegiate athletics program. Student-Athlete: A student who presently is participating in intercollegiate athletics or has participated in intercollegiate athletics and is still receiving athletics aid. Extra Benefit: An extra benefit is any special gift or arrangement provided to a student-athlete, or student athlete's friend or family member, which is not available to the general Louisiana Tech student body. PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETES NCAA rules prohibit boosters from engaging in recruiting activities. Permissible Booster Activities: • Continuing to have contact with an established family friend or neighbor who is a prospect • Viewing a prospect's game on your own initiative • Receiving a call from a prospect only if the prospect initiates the call and it is not for a recruiting purpose • Notifying the Louisiana Tech coaching staff of prospects 14

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RESTRICTED GIFT AND AN UNRESTRICTED GIFT TO LTAC? Restricted gifts are designated to a specific program, facility, or project. Unrestricted gifts through LTAC go directly toward the general athletic scholarship fund and help offset departmental expenses. Only unrestricted gifts secure LTAC member benefits.

LEDOUX MBB • R-SR. • PORT BARRE, LA. SOCIOLOGY C-USA SIXTH MAN OF THE YEAR
IS MY GIFT TO LTAC TAX DEDUCTIBLE? According to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on January 1, 2018, any contribution that is used to receive ticket benefits (i.e. priority seating) is no longer tax deductible. However, philanthropic giving above and beyond seating donations is still 100% tax deductible. Please consult with your tax advisor for information on how these changes affect your personal income taxes.
CAN I JOIN LTAC IF I DON’T HAVE SEASON TICKETS? Yes! As a member of LTAC, you join more than a thousand alumni and friends who collectively contribute each year to excellence at Louisiana Tech. Your support helps provide academic support services, sports-specific equipment, sports medicine, nutritional guidance, strength and conditioning, and travel for our student-athletes.
WHY IS MY LTAC GIFT DUE ON JUNE 30TH? To maintain the department’s goal for fiscal responsibility and accountability, it is important that we can accurately project revenue for planning and budgeting purposes. LTAC is a crucial part of our annual budget, and having this revenue secured at the end of the fiscal year allows us to responsibly project our expenses for the upcoming year.
CAN I PAY MY LTAC GIFT IN INSTALLMENTS? Yes! A variety of payment options are available. We will also work to accommodate your requests in regard to your payment schedules. 15
