Prepare for an evening of inspiration, entertainment, and transformative impact as Texas Southern University (TSU) hosts its fourth annual Tiger Ball on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Organized by the TSU Foundation Board of Trustees, this signature event is TSU’s largest fundraiser, dedicated to generating critical support for student scholarships and innovative programming.
“At its heart, the Tiger Ball is a celebration of partnerships that empower Texas Southern University students,” shared TSU Foundation Board Chair Dr. Frazier Wilson. “The generous contributions we receive through this event provide scholarships that change lives and create opportunities, paving the way for student success. We salute every sponsor who joins us in this shared mission.”
This year’s Tiger Ball marks the debut of TSU President James W. Crawford III, who assumed leadership of the university in June 2024. The night will showcase the partnerships and investments that drive TSU’s Tiger Promise, a groundbreaking tuition guarantee program that ensures eligible students can pursue higher education without financial barriers.
The Tiger Promise provides vital financial assistance for Texas residents meeting specific criteria, including annual household incomes below $125,000, first-time freshman or transfer status, and adherence to priority application and FAFSA deadlines.
Guests will enjoy captivating performances from TSU’s Ocean of Soul marching band, recently featured alongside Beyoncé Knowles-Carter at the Beyoncé Bowl, and award-winning singer and actress LeToya Luckett.
Challenge Office Products & Furniture Solutions returns as this year’s title sponsor with a generous $150,000 contribution, furthering their commitment to student success and community impact.
