*SUFAA Initiatives*
- *Jaguar Fan Experience. *SUFAA in partnership with ESPN Radio 104.5 is
sponsoring a raffle event allowing two lucky winners to receive an
all-access pass to the Atlanta Football or Bayou Classic. The lucky winners
will have an intimate experience as members of the Jaguar football team at
each of these events. We are asking members to assist in the promotion of
this fundraising event by selling 3 raffles tickets at $25.00 per ticket.
More information can be obtained on the website at

- Practice Field Capital Campaign*. *The current state of the practice
fields requires immediate attention and SUFAA is currently seeking
corporate sponsors and donors to raise the capital required to install a
100 yard turf field, 50 yard resurfaced grass field, 3-lane 40 yard track,
multipurpose storage facility, and restroom facilities. This facility
upgrade will assist in minimizing the number of injuries of our athletes
during training (see attached rendering of the project). The upgrades to
the fields will be used jointly by the football and soccer teams. In
addition, the bathroom facilities can be used during all football home
games.
- *Tutoring and Mentoring. *SUFAA provides tutoring services to all
football players during the week through a partnership with SUBR Service
Learning Program. Student-athletes are tutored in all academic subjects,
test taking strategies, and study skills. In addition, SUFAA members
provide training on life skills, personal etiquette, business attire, and
interviewing skills.
Membership is the key component to a successful organization. We encourage
you to get involved with our organization that was built specifically for
the players. Our mission is to provide support and assist the SU Football
Program, Athletic Department, and University with the resources to compete
at the highest level through innovative programs and initiatives.
