LSU Stripes
Baton Rouge, LA
 

The STRIPES (Student Tigers Rallying, Interacting, and Promoting Education and Service) program is a four-day overnight retreat designed to prepare first-year students for the transition to LSU.  At STRIPES, students learn what it really means to be an LSU Tiger!
This year, STRIPES has partnered with March of Dimes with hopes to raise awareness as to the severity of premature births and birth defects.  In an average week in Louisiana alone, 193 babies are born pre-term and 134 are born at low birth weight.  Their stories are why our heroic students were compelled to aid in March of Dimes' mission.

March of Dimes cannot rest until we reach the day when every baby is ensured a healthy start.  That goal can be achieved...if you pledge your support today!

Give in the name of your favorite LSU STRIPES Student!
