University-level sports teams, such as Laker Men’s Basketball, forge their strongest bonds during team meals throughout the season, where the team transforms into a tight-knit family. These meals play an integral role in fostering growth and team camaraderie. To support the program, Laker Men’s Basketball is introducing the opportunity for supporters to sponsor team meals during the season. This will accomplish three things.

  • Allow resources to get directed to crucial areas of need to help the team compete.
  • Show the current team that Laker Basketball benefactors are actively giving back to support the team.
  • Inspire Laker Basketball supporters to give back to the program.

As part of the program, benefactors who give back to support the meal sponsorship program will receive social media recognition thanking them for supporting a team meal on a specific weekend.

Our goal this year is to raise $5,000, which will cover the team meal for each of our road trips this season. Once the road trips are covered, funds will be used to support other team meals during the year.
