LSU Law students and organizers of the annual Barrister’s Bowl charity football game and auction presented a check to Geaux Teal on March 26 on the steps of the LSU Law Center.
Students raised more than $13,000 for the ovarian cancer organization during the football game and auction on Feb. 24.
Barrister’s Bowl pits students in a full-tackle football game with a student-cheerleading squad performing pre-game and halftime routines for the fans.
After the passing of vice chancellor, dean, longtime professor, and Barrister’s Bowl’s biggest fan Cheney Joseph to cancer in 2015, Barrister’s Bowl organizers decided to donate proceeds from their annual game to cancer-related charities. Last year’s event raised more than $9,000 for the American Cancer Society.
This year’s charity recipient, Geaux Teal, is an organization promoting Ovarian Cancer Awareness in Louisiana. Based in Baton Rouge and started by LSU Softball Coach Beth Torina, Geaux Teal is working to spread awareness about the disease along with raise money for research and to directly impact women in need.
Geaux Teal hosts an annual walk to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, and this year’s walk will be held April 21 at LSU’s Tiger Park. Click here to register.
